      Clearing Corporation of India Limited (CCIL)

      CCIL was set up in April 2001 by banks, financial institutions and primary dealers, to function as an industry service organisation for clearing and settlement of trades in money market, government securities and foreign exchange markets.

      The Clearing Corporation plays the crucial role of a Central Counter Party (CCP) in the government securities, USD–INR forex exchange (both spot and forward segments) and Triparty Repo markets. CCIL plays the role of a central counterparty whereby, the contract between buyer and seller gets replaced by two new contracts – between CCIL and each of the two parties. This process is known as ‘Novation’. Through novation, the counterparty credit risk between the buyer and seller is eliminated with CCIL subsuming all counterparty and credit risks. In order to minimise these risks, that it exposes itself to, CCIL follows specific risk management practices which are as per international best practices. In addition to the guaranteed settlement, CCIL also provides non-guaranteed settlement services for rupee derivatives such as Interest Rate Swaps.

      CCIL is also providing a reporting platform and acts as a trade repository (CCIL-TR) for Over the Counter (OTC) products. Legal Entity Identifier India Ltd., is a wholly owned subsidiary of CCIL, acting as a Local Operating Unit for issuing Legal Entity Identifiers (LEI) in India.

      Both CCIL and CCIL-TR are recognised as financial market infrastructures. CCIL is granted the status of a Qualified Central Counterparty (QCCP) and is subjected, on an on-going basis, to rules and regulations that are consistent with the Principles for Financial Market Infrastructures (PFMIs) issued by the Committee on Payment and Settlement Systems (CPSS) and International Organisation of Securities Commissions (IOSCO).
