PSX Settlement
UIN-wise settlement concentration across the Pakistan Stock Exchange, from NCCPL's daily reports. As of 14 Oct 2026.
Market snapshot
How concentrated settlement is across the exchange today.
Settlement is where trades become ownership. NCCPL clears every PSX trade and reports, per symbol, how much of the day’s traded value settled through the announcing UIN — a direct read on whether activity is spread across many accounts or concentrated in a few. Watching that concentration shift is a professional’s early signal that the character of the market’s volume is changing. No other free PSX platform publishes this series.
As of 14 Oct 2026, the value-weighted market UIN settlement sits at 72.50% — the 92nd percentile of the past year, measured across 526 symbols.

Understanding PSX settlement
How trades become ownership on the Pakistan Stock Exchange.
PSX equities settle on a T+1 rolling cycle: ownership and funds change hands one working day after the trade — Pakistan moved from T+2 to T+1 on February 9, 2026, in an SECP-guided transition covering regular and leverage-market trades. NCCPL (National Clearing Company of Pakistan) nets and clears every exchange trade, while CDC (Central Depository Company) holds the shares electronically. Every investor operates under a UIN — a Unique Identification Number tied to their CNIC or registration — which is what lets NCCPL report settlement activity per account.
The UIN-wise settlement percentage on this page comes from that reporting: for each symbol, the share of the day’s traded value settled by the announcing UIN. Aggregated and value-weighted across the market, it becomes a daily gauge of how broadly — or narrowly — the market’s activity is held.
FAQ
UIN settlement, concentration, and the PSX clearing cycle.
Every PSX investor trades under a Unique Identification Number (UIN). NCCPL's daily settlement report shows how much of each symbol's traded value was settled by the announcing UIN — a measure of how concentrated that stock's activity is in individual accounts.
A high percentage means a large share of a stock's trading value settled through few UINs — activity concentrated in fewer hands. A low percentage means settlement was spread across many accounts. Concentration itself is neutral, but sudden jumps are worth attention because they show a change in who is driving the volume.
It is the value-weighted average of NCCPL's UIN-wise settlement percentages across all covered symbols — a single daily gauge of how concentrated settlement is across the whole exchange.
PSX equities settle on a T+1 rolling cycle: shares and funds change hands one working day after the trade, through NCCPL as the clearing company and CDC as the depository. Pakistan moved from T+2 to T+1 on February 9, 2026, in an SECP-guided transition covering regular and leverage-market trades.
