What are Market and Off-Market trades?
Market Trades- Trades placed through the stock exchange. They are executed through a broker/exchange (NSE/BSE), cleared by the depositories (NSDL/CDSL), and settled through a Clearing Corporation (CC).
Off-Market Trades- Trade settlement between two parties, the transferor (entity which transfers the share) and transferee (entity that receives the shares) without the involvement of an exchange or a CC. It is a way of transferring ownership of securities. Here, the transferor submits a signed Delivery Instruction Slip (DIS) to their Depository Participant (DP) requesting a transfer of the mentioned securities to the transferee.
Most commonly used for gifting, bulk deals, transferring between demat accounts, transactions in unlisted securities, etc.
