Buyers willing to take delivery will be required to give their intention on 11h day of the Contract month by 3 p.m. In respect of allocation of delivery, priority will be given to those buyers who have given such intention. However, delivery can be allocated to other buyers also, who have not given their intention to take delivery and therefore, the buyers can give their intention on subsequent days also during the contract period. If the buyer fails to make payment for the delivery allocated to him, a penalty of 5% will be imposed on him, out of which 90% will be passed on to the seller tendering delivery. Further, the Buyer will not have any option about choosing the place of delivery and will have to accept the delivery as per allocation made by the Exchange. |
