6. Adjustment and Amount Block Transactions

The system provides a facility to capture transactions for which a specific price, other than the prevalent transaction base price at the time of entry, is applicable. These transactions are typically representative of holdings of an investor in any external agency of any kind, which need to be reflected in the system. They are known as adjustment transactions.

Typically, for such transactions, no processing is done in the system with respect to computation of charges or fund prices. All these computations are done externally and the information is only captured as data in the FC-IS system.

This chapter contains the following section:

6.1 Adjustment Redemption Transaction Detail Screen

This section contains the following topics:

6.1.1 Invoking Adjustment Redemption Transaction Detail Screens

You can capture new adjustment transactions through the Adjustment Subscription (for subscriptions into the fund) and the Adjustment Redemption screens (for redemption from the fund). You can invoke the ‘FCIS Adjustment Redemption Transaction Detail’ screen by typing ‘UTDADJ03’ in the field at the top right corner of the Application tool bar and clicking on the adjoining arrow button.

The system displays the name of the unit holder alongside this field.

6.3.1.2 Other Details section

Block / Unblock ID

System Generated Information

Each amount block transaction that you enter is also given what is called a Block / Unblock ID, which is used to track any future amount unblock transactions that would be requested against this amount block transaction. At the time of transaction entry of an amount block transaction, it is the same as the Block ID, and is generated using the same logic as the Block ID.

For a single Block ID, multiple unblock transactions can be entered and processed.

At the time of entering an amount unblock transaction, the Block ID will be available for selection in the dropdown (Block ID) after selecting the external system and after the saving of Unblock Transaction, the Unblock ID is generated by the system.

Block ID

System Generated Information

This is a unique number automatically assigned to each amount block transaction by the system. It is internally generated upon successful entry of the transaction and after all validations have been made. Therefore, when you enter a new amount block transaction, this field is disabled.

The transaction number generated by the system is in the format TT-YYYY-JJJ-NNNNNNN

Where,

TT- Transaction type (“11” for amount block transactions, “12” for amount unblock transactions)

YYYY - Year of processing

JJJ - Julian date

NNNNNNN- Running sequence number for the day

If an agency branch goes offline during transaction entry, the validations cannot be made and the transaction number cannot be generated. In such a case, the reference number is the identification for the transaction till the system goes online and the validations can be made.

Note

For a single Block ID, multiple unblock transactions can be entered and processed. When you are entering an amount unblock transaction, the Block ID field is enabled and you can select the Block ID against which the unblock transaction is being entered, from the drop down list.

Block Currency

The currency of the amount that is allocated for the amount block

External System

Alphanumeric, Mandatory

The options are:

The option list should be parameterized in the system parameters under 'Amount Block External System Code '.

Reference Number

16 Characters Alphanumeric, Mandatory

Specify a unique reference number that will be used to identify the amount block transaction in the system. Typically, this number is the number of the application that is used to enter this transaction. It will be the initial identification for the transaction, before the actual Block ID is generated by the system.

If the reference number is designated to be a system-generated number in the Defaults Maintenance, the system will internally generate and display this number when the transaction screen is opened, and this field is disabled.

Amount

Numeric, Mandatory

Specify the amount to be blocked against this amount block or unblock transaction. For amount block transactions, this is the amount that will be blocked across all the combination of fund and unit holder, in which the investor retains holdings. For amount unblock transactions, this is the amount that will be unblocked against the selected Block ID.

Transaction Date

Display only for amount block transactions, enabled and mandatory for amount unblock

transactions.

This is the date on which you enter the amount block transaction into the system. It is reckoned to be the application date, which is displayed here.

For amount unblock transactions, you can specify either the application date or a future date.

Pledged To

Alphanumeric, Optional

Specify the entity that the blocked amount is pledged to (i.e., the pledgor). This pledgor entity that you specify here must be the same for all amount block transactions that you enter for the unit holder that you have entered in the Unit Holder field. This means that for all amount block transactions entered into by a single unit holder, the pledgor entity specified must be the same.

On the first occasion that you enter an amount block transaction for a unit holder, the pledgor that you specify will be taken as the pledgor for the subsequent amount block transactions for the same unit holder, and will be displayed by default in this field.

When you are entering an amount unblock transaction, the pledgor details that you specified for the selected Block ID are displayed here, and cannot be changed.

Fund ID

Select the fund for which the amount needs to be blocked from the list which displays all the funds for which amount blocking is allowed.

Fund ID

Alphanumeric, Optional

This field is only applicable for amount unblock transactions and is not visible in the case of amount block transactions.

Specify the fund from which units must be redeemed (if any) for the selected unit holder when you initiate the amount unblock transaction. You will be allowed to specify only one fund here.

You must specify a fund in which the unit holder will possess holdings to the extent of the unblocked amount, after the unblock transaction has been allocated. Refer the second example given at the beginning of this section for a detailed scenario

If you do not specify any fund in this field, then no redemption will take place in any fund, against the unblocked amount.

Refer to the section ‘Redeeming Units for Unblocked Amounts’ that is found later in this chapter, for a full discussion of the redemption process.

When you specify the fund, the ISIN Code of the fund is displayed in the ISIN Code field.

Escalation Paused

Optional

If you want the escalation to be halted for a while or a hiatus to occur, then check this box. No more escalation will occur till this box is unchecked.

6.4 Redeeming Units for Unblocked Amounts

This section contains the following topics:

6.4.1 Processing Redemption Transactions against Unblocked Amounts

FC-IS provides the facility of redeeming the resulting units for a unit holder when an unblock amount transaction is put through against a Block ID.

When you enter an unblock transaction for a unit holder against a Block ID, you can also specify the fund from which the units may be redeemed when the unblock transaction is authorized and allocated.

Note

In an amount unblock transaction, the amount unblocked could be unblocked against a Block ID, across all the funds in which the amount was blocked. The redemption against this unblock amount can only be initiated in a single specified fund.

To enable the redemption of units in this way,

When you enter the unblock transaction in the Adjustment Unblock Amount Transaction screen against a Block ID, specify the fund in which the redemption must occur for the unit holder.

Specify the details of payment for the redemption transaction, in the Payment Details section.

When the amount unblock transaction is authorized on the date of entry, a redemption transaction for the unblocked amount is initiated in the system for the specified unit holder, in the specified fund. The date of this redemption transaction is the date of authorization of the amount unblock transaction.

Note

If the amount unblock transaction is a future-dated transaction, the redemption transaction would be initiated by a Beginning of Day (BOD) process on the transaction date. The date for the redemption transaction would then be the transaction date of the amount unblock transaction.

The redemption transaction is allocated by the End of Day (EOD) process on the redemption transaction date. The NAV considered for the allocation is the prevalent NAV on the redemption transaction date.

When an unblock escalation occurs, a redemption transaction is inserted for the unblocked amount by the BOD process on the date of escalation, and allocated by the EOD process on the date of escalation. The NAV considered for the allocation is the prevalent NAV on the date of escalation.

6.4.2 Retrieving Amount Block/ Unblock Summary Screens

You can perform all these operations through the Amount Block/Unblock Transaction Summary screens. You can retrieve a previously entered adjustment transaction in the Summary screen, as follows:

Note

You can also retrieve the individual transaction detail from the detail screen by doing query in the following manner:
