Under the T or XT group category, no speculative trading is allowed and delivery of shares and payment of consideration amount are mandatory.
The securities of 23 companies would be "traded and settled on Trade to Trade basis wef February 2, 2017 and would attract a circuit filter of 5 per cent or lower as applicable," BSE said in a notice.

Furthermore, the bourse said the "transfer of security for trading and settlement on a trade-to-trade basis is purely on account of market surveillance and it should not be construed as an adverse action against the concerned company".
