What is Reversal Trade Cancellation Mechanism (RTCM)?
In order to enhance market integrity and to safeguard the interest of investors, Exchange has introduced “Reversal Trade Cancellation Mechanism” (RTCM)
As per Exchange circular no. NSE/SURV/62493 dated June 18, 2024, if 2 legs of trade (i.e. “First leg - where PAN “A” is the buyer and PAN “B” is the seller” and “Second leg - where PAN “A” is the seller and PAN “B” is the buyer”) are matched between a pair of PANs, reversal leg will be cancelled by the Exchange which satisfies the condition of reversal transaction. RTCM is made applicable to scrips which are relatively illiquid and a list of such scrips would be published by the Exchange on a monthly basis.
