M3 Eligibility screens · 18 fields
Differential voting rights eligibility Eligible if DVR-related market capitalisation, free-float, and applicable index liquidity criteria are met.
Equity securities with Differential Voting Rights (DVR) are eligible for inclusion in the index subject to fulfilment of specified DVR related criteria given below:Open p.318 ↗
Equity securities with differential voting rights may be included if they satisfy the specified market-capitalisation, free-float, and liquidity criteria.
Differential voting rights free float 10%
Free float of DVR equity class share should be at least 10% of free-float market capitalization of the company (voting equity class share and DVR equity class share) and 100% free-float market capitalization of last security in respective indexOpen p.318 ↗
The DVR equity class must have free float equal to at least 10% of the company's free-float market capitalisation and at least 100% of the free-float market capitalisation of the last security in the respective index.
Differential voting rights market capitalisation basis Company level aggregated market capitalisation
Market capitalisation criteria is measured at a company level by aggregating the market capitalisation of individual class of security meeting the liquidity criteria for the respective indexOpen p.318 ↗
For DVR securities, market capitalisation is assessed at the company level by aggregating the market capitalisation of each individual security class that meets the relevant liquidity criteria.
Differential voting rights security count effect The index may contain more securities than its fixed company count because separate voting and DVR share classes can both be included.
Upon inclusion of DVRs in index, the index may not have fixed number of securities. For example, if DVR of an existing Nifty 50 constituent is included in Nifty 50, the Nifty index will have 51 securities but continue to have 50 companiesOpen p.318 ↗
Including a DVR class may cause the index to have more securities than companies, such as 51 securities representing 50 companies.
Differential voting rights independent class inclusion Yes
It is possible that the DVR is eligible for inclusion in the index whereas the full voting rights security class is ineligible. In such scenario, the DVRs shall be included in the index irrespective of whether full voting rights share class is part of indexOpen p.318 ↗
A DVR class may be included even if the full-voting-rights share class is not eligible or included.
Liquidity measures Trading frequency, Traded turnover, Volume of shares to total shares issued, Ratio of turnover to market capitalization, Impact cost
Liquidity of a security can be measured through factors such as trading frequency, traded turnover, volume of shares to total shares issued, ratio of turnover to market capitalization, impact cost etc.Open p.323 ↗
Liquidity may be assessed using trading frequency, traded turnover, traded share volume relative to shares issued, turnover relative to market capitalisation, and impact cost.

For selection of securities in indices such as Nifty 50 and Nifty Next 50, liquidity is screened on the basis of ‘impact cost’ as criteria.Open p.323 ↗
Nifty 50 and Nifty Next 50 screen securities for liquidity using impact cost.
Impact cost definition Impact cost is the percentage difference between the execution price for a predefined order size and the ideal price, calculated as the average of the best bid and best offer.
In mathematical terms it is the percentage mark-up observed while buying / selling the desired quantity of a stock with reference to its ideal price (best buy + best sell) / 2.Open p.325 ↗
Impact cost measures the percentage execution cost of buying or selling a predefined quantity relative to the midpoint of the best bid and offer.
Impact cost characteristics Buy and sell impact costs are calculated separately; impact cost varies by transaction size, changes with outstanding orders, and insufficiently liquid stocks receive a penal impact cost.
It should however be emphasised that: impact cost is separately computed for buy and sell impact cost may vary for different transaction sizes impact cost is dynamic and depends on the outstanding orders where a stock is not sufficiently liquid, a penal impact cost is appliedOpen p.325 ↗
Impact cost is computed separately for buys and sells, varies by transaction size and order book, and a penal cost is applied to insufficiently liquid stocks.
