The correct answer is: B. Investor Reimbursement Fund (IRF)
The Investor Reimbursement Fund (IRF) is a fund maintained by the National Stock Exchange (NSE) to make good investor claims, which may arise out of non-settlement of obligations by the trading member, who has been declared defaulter, in respect of trades executed on the exchange.
The IRF is a corpus of money collected from all trading members of the NSE. The amount collected is based on the trading turnover of each member. The IRF is managed by a Board of Trustees, which is appointed by the NSE.
The IRF is used to settle claims of investors who have suffered losses due to the default of a trading member. The claims are settled on a first-come, first-served basis. The maximum amount that can be claimed from the IRF is Rs. 2 lakh.
The IRF is a safety net for investors who trade on the NSE. It provides a guarantee that investors will not lose their money even if a trading member defaults.
