 What is DVP-III and where are the trades settled? 

DVP III is a settlement process in which settlements are done on Delivery versus Payment after achieving multilateral netting. For each Settlement date, the funds are netted for all secondary market transactions in Government securities market whereas in case of securities, the multilateral netting is achieved for each member separately for his SGL and CSGL account and within each such account for each ISIN. The netting for demat trades is at constituent level, then at CCIL Member level through whom the trade is received and then at depository level. Securities settlement for proprietary and constituent outright and market repo trades are settled in the SGL and CSGL account respectively. The demat trades are settled in the CSGL of the depository. Triparty repo trades securities are settled in the Triparty Repo gilt account of the member maintained with CCIL. The funds settlement is achieved in the RBI/ Settlement Bank current account of the member.

 When the members are informed of completion of settlement?
