  If any person required to deliver a security in the market does not readily have that security, he can borrow the same from another person who is willing to lend as per the Securities Lending and Borrowing Scheme.

  No. Lending and borrowing has to be done through an ‘Approved Intermediary’ registered with SEBI.

  Yes. You can lend your securities through Approved Intermediaries registered with SEBI.

• How an investor can participate in lending and borrowing of security?

  You may enter into an agreement with the approved intermediary to be a lender under this scheme. After that, you may lend securities any time by submitting lending instruction to your DP.
