The Committee will be Chaired by the Deputy Governor (DG) in charge of the Financial Markets Regulation Department (FMRD) of the RBI.

It will also keep an eye on issues relating to trading, clearing, settlement, reporting and other market infrastructure, including the associated regulatory and operational frameworks.

Emerging policy and operational issues affecting financial markets, including implementation of RBI measures and identification of unintended market frictions and international and domestic developments, financial innovations, and emerging risks that may affect Indian financial markets apart from any specific market issues or macroeconomic considerations referred to the Committee by the Reserve Bank are among the terms of reference of the Committee.

The meetings of the Committee will be convened at least once a quarter.
