Bye-law requirements for clearing corporations mandate risk management, netting and formal amendment approvals before Board clearance. Clearing corporations must adopt bye-laws covering pay-in/pay-out timings, clearing and settlement rules, a risk management mechanism, netting, novation and guarantee processes, Fund contribution and utilisation norms, member rights and obligations, admission criteria, default handling and committees. Amendments to memorandum, articles, rules or bye-laws require governing board approval, shareholder approval where applicable, submission to the Board, and, where relevant, Gazette and State publication; proposals must include board minutes, shareholder resolutions and public criticism, except where amendments follow Board regulations or circulars.
