Questions-and-Answer Session

Operator: First question comes from Mr. Sandesh. Your line is unmuted.

Sandesh: Hello, sir.

Ashishkumar Chauhan: Yes, please.

Sandesh: So I have one question. Which subsidiary are making operating loss, and when they will reach a breakeven? Which subsidiary are making operating loss ?

Ashishkumar Chauhan: India International Exchange and India International Clearing Corporation are making losses.

Sandesh: India International and ?

Ashishkumar Chauhan: India International Exchange and India International Clearing Corporation are make losses. In addition, there is a minor small company called BSE Sammaan CSR Limited, which is making losses of minor amounts.

Sandesh: Is there a chance to reach a breakeven?

Ashishkumar Chauhan: Basically, India International Exchange and India International Clearing Corporation are in a sense joined at the hip, India International Exchange does the trading, Clearing Corporation does the clearing and settlement. NSE, they have also started their own exchange and that exchange is a – NSE’s exchange is not charging anything. So as a
competition BSE also cannot charge and that is basically the reason, why we are not charging.

In addition, SEBI has allowed the NSE’s IFSC exchange to do liquidity enhancement scheme, so BSE also had to match it, and that’s why sort of losses have increased and I do not see when this will basically do it, but as when themarket power is there with BSE, we will start charging, till we don't see it in your future.

Sandesh: Okay. Sir I have a question about the consolidated statement. The administration and other expense has increased by Rs.10 crore, in standalone and consolidated both …

Ashishkumar Chauhan: Rs. 10 crore.

Sandesh: What is the account for that?

Nayan Mehta: So in the consolidated statement, there are two main items, which is the provision for diminution in value of investments, which we have made in ILFS group securities, which is we had invested Rs.17 crores in secure non-convertible debentures of ILFS group. And we had made a provision of 20%of same that is Rs.3.4 crores on that account.

And we have also made some provision for listing fees, which is receivable, so these are the two main items because of which the admin cost has increased.

Sandesh: Okay. And there is commodity exchange and INX exchange, there is charge, you have oneyear free transaction in commodity exchange. So that is including that.

Ashishkumar Chauhan: You are talking about the India International or you’re talking about the BSE’s commodities?

Sandesh: BSE commodities.

Ashishkumar Chauhan: BSE commodities have started trading as of October 1. It is one month old in terms of calendar days.

Sandesh: Okay.

Ashishkumar Chauhan: And we’re not charging anything as of now for one year from October 1, 2018 to September 30, 2019. So till that time, we will not be making any charges to the – transaction charges to the brokers. So there will be basically some minor losses that will be incurred for the people, who are dedicated for that business. And of course, we have to also do a three shift running operations because of the fact that the commodities are running till very late in the night, almost midnight.

So we had to also sort of restructure our operations, which will cost us a little more. But itwill also allowus to do trading in equities &derivatives till late in evening , as andwhen it is allowed. So effectively this ismore of an investment happening just now and once we have good amount of volumes, we may be able to charge in commodities also, like what we did in currencies.

Sandesh: Okay. Can you give a break up of administration and other expenses, Rs.41 crore you have shown, just give us major amount of break up. What includes Rs.41 crore?

Nayan Mehta: See, administration expenses will be include all types of expenses, which will be regulatory expenses,which will be overheads – day-to-day overheads. There will be some business expenses involved. So obviously, that you can make out from our balance sheet, which is already available.

Sandesh: Thank you.

Operator: Thank you. Next question comes from Mr. Ashish Chopra from Motilal Oswal Securities. Your line is un-muted.

Ashish Chopra: Hi. Thanks for the opportunity. Nayan firstly, if you could just clarify again, I missed out on the admin and other expenses you mentioned that the provision of Rs.3.4 crores would be there and what's the second element?

Nayan Mehta: The second element is we have made some provision for doubtful debts and which basically, comprises of listing receivable. So that is amount, which is because of it, the administrative expenses increased.

Ashish Chopra: Okay. Okay. How much…

Nayan Mehta: This is basically – and this is Rs.4 crore provision which we have made and which is in line with all the provisions, which we have been making earlier also every year.

Ashish Chopra: Okay. And the reversal of unrealized interest of Rs.82 lakhs, would that also be in the same expense item.

Nayan Mehta: Yes.

Ashish Chopra: Okay.

Nayan Mehta: That will be basically reduced out of income, investment income.

Ashish Chopra: Okay, got it. And secondly, if you could just quantify, so what would be the costsmaybe of running the commodity derivatives for an year without any transaction charge? In terms of the people, and like you mentioned it will be operating till evening. So what would be the loss that one can factor in because of that?

Nayan Mehta: So it’s basically a marginal increase. And that is basically for the guys who are working for two shifts, their salary cost and obviously, you know, sincemost of our operations and data center works full time, 24 hours. So it wouldn't really make too much of difference on the other overheads.

Ashish Chopra: Okay. So I think one other announcementwas of the non renewal of the S&P license. Does that in any way have any impact maybe on the cost side or on the – some of these indices which were licensing earlier and taking S&P’s name. So how does that really change anything? I just wanted to get some understanding on that?

Ashishkumar Chauhan: Nothingmuch. Basically,we had done this tie-up five years back, but J.V. couldn't domuch in terms of expanding in the foreign jurisdiction, the usage of the indexes and all. And that's why we have decided to not renew it, but overall the impact on profits or on the
revenues will be minuscule.

Ashish Chopra: Understood. So I think, Ashish on the Clearing Corporation, so there was this report that came out which finally allowed or made way for interoperability of Clearing Corporation sometime in the future. So if you could just help us understand what could be the roadmap for this implementation, the likely timelines and how does it impact BSE for the
better or for the worse?

Ashishkumar Chauhan: See basically interoperability of Clearing Corporation was a requirement which BSE had come out with long back. And then of course there was a committee under Mr. K. V. Kamath that was set up around five, six years back. And then they given their report around 3.5 years back, recommending it, but timingwas left to SEBI. And since then there were discussions. And then later on in August, 2018, SEBI board took a decision to allow interoperability of Clearing Corporation. As you would have seen, it's already six years since the discussion started, three, four years since recommendation. So somemore time – also might be sort of taken by various people to come out with regulations after their board approves.

And once they come out with their regulations, we will be able to implement. Most probably people are expect it to have some positive impact on BSE’s volumes, because of the fact that, you are able to take sort of hedged positions in multiple exchanges, if you are on a single Clearing Corporation on a multiple framework basis. And that is basically the advantage for a trader, or a hedger or an arbitrager. And that might increase liquidity in the exchange which have lower amount of liquidity. Now that is the theory. Practice remains to be seen how the competing exchanges allow it to be implemented and how actually the benefits accrues. But we have some hopes and once it is allowed we will try to launch it as quick as possible.

And you might have seen in the past anything new that is allowed, we are pretty much the first to launch any product like even commodity recently. And because we have some solid technology and business development teams, which end up conceptualizing and implementing all these things, all the changes that SEBI wants or business changes that come very, very fast.

Ashish Chopra: Got it, that's helpful. Thanks. I will go back into the queue.

Ashishkumar Chauhan: Thank you.

Operator: Thank you, Mr. Ashish. [Operator Instructions] Next question comes from Su Reddy from Mergers India Info. Your line is un-muted.

Su Reddy: Good evening. Thanks for the opportunity. Your employee benefit and expenses have increased from Rs. 28 crores to Rs 34 crores on the consolidated side, any specific reason for that?

Ashishkumar Chauhan: Part of it is basically the inflationary part. And other part is that SEBI gave their recommendation that the employees charged to a particular fund would now have to be charged under the BSE directly and that's where almost Rs. 3 crore has been added. So it's broadly what I call large amount have added due to that part where SEBI – basically
SEBI has recommended thatwe need to start charging some of the employees which were being charged on another fund, into BSE’s own account.

Su Reddy: A supplementary question on the same related, is the leadership incentive in anyway link to market capitalization of BSE, because since the IPO, the prices have come down substantially? Is it done variable, what I’m saying is anyway linked with the market capitalization.

Ashishkumar Chauhan: Basically, the way the new regulations have come out, and old regulations affecting the employment contracts for the top management of BSE or any other exchange for that matter including commodities exchanges now, then they don’t get stock options and they
don’t get variable salaries which are linked to the profits of the company. And so basically the reason is that these are regulatory organizations and they should focus more on regulations and compliance rather than on the –maximizing profit on a short-term basis. And so that is basically the reason, however it has no relevance to the prices going up or down. And so people may like to connect but I do not think there are any connections at all.

Su Reddy: Okay. Thanks. Only the reason for asking is this somewhere it needs to be linked, so that you know they should not be total disconnect with the market cap and leadership base.

Ashishkumar Chauhan: Thank you. But it could also boomerang for a regulatory organization like this. However, you can take it up with SEBI and other regulators.

Su Reddy: We, retail investors have – okay, thanks. Appreciate it.

Ashishkumar Chauhan: Thank you.

Operator: Thank you, Mr. Reddy. Next question comes from Mr. Rahil Jasani from ICICI Securities. Your line is unmuted.

Rahil Jasani: Yeah. Good evening sir. Sir,my questionwas on themutual fund platform,whichwe have. So you mentioned that the platform has been seeing monthly trades of around 3 million and it's growing at a very rapid pace. So I was just assessing the opportunity size for BSE StAR MF. So I just wanted to know what will be the number and share of mutual fund transactions which are conducted via online platforms and offline platforms. And further what is the share of say IFAs, banks and other intermediaries in these transactions.

Ashishkumar Chauhan: Basically, we have – some of the largest distributor or aggregators, are also on BSE, okay. And we have some of the largest stockbroker entities are also on BSE, some of the largest banking cum stockbroker entities are also on BSE. So some of the larger ones go through
the BSE, some of the smaller ones go through the, like one mom-and-pop joints also go through BSE and in between even the Robo-advisors and so on and so forth. So, currently I don't have the readymade numbers on which type of people are sort of facing more orders on BSE. But, effectively we're a backend to the entire industry. We are not the frontend, but any type of front-end whether it is manual front-end or automated frontend or completely robotic front-end. They all use the BSEs StAR MF platform equally. Well, in fact, even the portfolio managers, some of the largest portfolio managers also use BSE StAR MF for their customers sort of orders to be place and all.

Rahil Jasani: Right, right. Sir so I was not asking particularly about the existing mix of intermediaries but what potential do you see going forward of your customers increasing or the intermediaries coming to you?

Ashishkumar Chauhan: See, basically it is say that there are two to three crore mutual fund transactions in a month happening. And BSE is doing around 33 to 35 lakhs now from this month onwards. So in terms of number of transactions we are still lower, but in terms of value of transactions we are like 20%, 25%of the total.

In terms of a new customers, I have been told we are around 44% to 48% of all new customers are now coming through BSE StARMFs. And so,we are slowly becoming larger than the entire industry – in terms of the pace at which we are growing. We are growing at faster than the industry pace, and we still have a larger – to grow, our costs are phenomenally low because we are a backend. And that's where we also save as per estimates around Rs. 300 to Rs. 400 per transaction for mutual fund industry.

However, some of the large mutual fund industry players who have very large distribution network, they clearly do not like smaller ones to have similar or even better distribution framework at even lower cost. So there is a bit of a kind of a competition that is going on, we have also try to set up MF utility by creating one through AMFI and all.

And of course, everyone now is trying to create their own direct website based framework. But clearly BSE StAR MF is growing at a very, very rapid pace. And I don't know how fast it would be able to kind of get to one crore transaction and then two crore transactions in a month, but our technology is ready.

And as you knowthis yearwe started charging token amounts broadly to themutual fund industry, because it was the first year of payment, for seven years of our services nobody paid. This year only they have started paying and hopefully we'll be able to also increase our charges a little bit going forward. And so basically, it remains to be negotiated and other things. But those are the hopes and let’s see how it works out.

Rahil Jasani: Right, sir. Great color. So, actually, just a follow-up on that, you said, there are other bigger players, who have also started their online – already have online platforms going on. So, what will – what can be our value proposition for these guys to come to BSE’s StAR MF platform onboard?

Ashishkumar Chauhan: It’s, basically, the distributor, who is not tied to a particular fund, he would rather want to sort of have a piece ofmind and a piece of operations every day. When he goes through BSE StAR MF, he has to settle with only one entity, which is BSE every day for all these transactions, in all the mutual funds, in all the schemes, whereas if he goes through hundred different websites, he doesn’t even – he can’t even keep track with whom he is trading, how much, where will the money go, and how it has gone or not and all those things, right.

Rahil Jasani: Got it.

Ashishkumar Chauhan: So, it’s basically like creating your own roads if you want to travel or basically go on the road which somebody else has created and a network of roads, which is what BSE is giving you. And that’s what I still think having public roads are better than creating private road by any individual.

Rahil Jasani: Right, right. It’s a great color. So, just a final question on the mutual fund a bit again so, you said, you are charging a nominal fee now since last two, three quarters. This quarter, we saw around $8.59 million orders in the whole quarter. So what – I was wondering what is the transaction charges, which we earned in this quarter from the BSE StAR MF
platform?

Nayan Mehta: Around Rs. 7 crore is the income we have earned out of this mutual fund transactions.

Ashishkumar Chauhan: Rs. 7 crore.

Nayan Mehta: Above Rs. 7 crore.

Rahil Jasani: Okay, okay, okay. Great. Thank you, sir. That’s it from my side. Thank you.

Operator: Thank you, Mr. Rahil. Next question from Mr. Sandesh Kadole from individual investor. Your line is unmuted.

Sandesh Kadole: Hello, sir.

Ashishkumar Chauhan: Yes.

Sandesh Kadole: Yes. You have given half-yearly performance. So, I just want to know the transaction charge, treasure income and other by quarterly, Q2 FY2019? transaction charge income, treasury income, other income and service to corporate income by Q2 FY2019.

Nayan Mehta: If you see the security services income, which is basically comprises of the transaction income, it is more or less same at around Rs. 40 crores, last year – last quarter was Rs. 44 crores, it’s down to Rs. 43 crores, listing income last time was Rs. 56 crores, this time it was Rs. 55 crores.
