0% of students got this wrong

EXPLANATION

Settlement risk (counterparty risk) is the risk that the other party in a securities transaction fails to fulfil their obligation — delivering securities or making payment — by the settlement date. India's equity market uses T+1 settlement, reducing but not eliminating settlement risk. Derivative counterparty risk is managed through clearing corporations.
