The National Bank of Tajikistan issued Regulation No. 101 to establish the rules for depositary accounting of state securities issued as account entries. The regulation mandates the opening of deposit accounts for dealers and investors, requiring double-entry bookkeeping to maintain a strict balance between active storage accounts and passive owner accounts. It further prescribes specific documentation, operational journals, and periodic balance reporting to ensure accurate tracking and archival of all securities transactions.
APPROVED BY RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE NATIONAL BANK OF TAJIKISTAN May 30, 2000, No. 84
Regulation No. 101 "On Depositary Accounting at the National Bank of Tajikistan"
Depositary accounting is the accounting of securities aimed at obtaining complete and reliable information about securities, broken down by their owners, storage locations, and the depositary operations applied to them.
Procedure for Conducting Depositary Operations
For the purpose of maintaining depositary accounting, deposit accounts (hereinafter referred to as depot accounts) are opened for each owner of securities.
In the text of this Regulation, unless otherwise specified, the term "Depositor" refers to the owner (Dealer or Investor) of securities in whose name the depot account is opened.
Accounting of securities in depot accounts is conducted in units (pieces).
Securities in depot accounts are accounted for on a double-entry basis: on the liability side - by owner, and on the asset side - by storage location.
For all issues of securities accounted for in the depositary, the following balance must be maintained: the total number of securities of this issue accounted for on passive depot accounts must be equal to the total number of securities of this issue accounted for on active depot accounts.
Negative balances on individual depot accounts are not permitted after the completion of the operational day.
Depositary Documents
The basis for executing a depositary operation is an instruction - a document submitted to the depositary and signed by an authorized person.
The start of performing a depositary operation is the receipt of the instruction. The completion of a depositary operation is the transmission of a report on the execution of the operation to the necessary parties.
Information on all depositary operations executed and being executed by the depositary must be contained in the operational journal of the depositary.
The report on the completion of a depositary operation transmitted to the recipient is an official document of depositary accounting. The report on the execution of the operation serves as the basis for making entries in the recipient's accounting records.
All documents and records of depositary accounting must be stored in the depositary for at least 5 years from the date the document was received by the depositary. Upon expiration of this period, all depositary accounting materials are transferred to the archive.
Depot accounts for dealers are opened on the basis of a contract concluded between the National Bank of Tajikistan and the Dealer.
Depot accounts for Investors are opened on the basis of a contract between the Dealer and the Investor, a copy of which is submitted to the National Bank of Tajikistan (Securities Department).
The write-off of securities from a depot account is carried out based on the instruction of the owner of the depot account (in the secondary market) or based on the results of an auction in the primary market upon the instruction of the Head of the Securities Department.
All opened depot accounts are registered in the Register of Depot Accounts. The register consists of two sections: depot accounts of depositors (passive) and depot accounts of securities storage locations (active).
A depositor questionnaire is created for each owner of a depot account.
To organize the accounting of securities within a depot account, individual accounts are opened. Securities of one issue with the same set of permissible depositary operations are accounted for on them.
Upon the maturity of securities issues, individual depot accounts are closed. Upon closing a depot account, the date of closure is recorded in the Register of Depot Accounts. A depot account on which securities are listed on individual accounts cannot be closed.
To preserve information about operations performed with an individual account, two journals are maintained: the operational journal of the individual account and the turnover journal.
The operational journal of the individual account contains information on all accounting operations performed with the individual account.
The turnover journal of the individual account contains the balances of securities and turnovers on the individual account at the end of those operational days during which there was movement on the individual account.
For each issue of securities accounted for in the depositary, a questionnaire for the securities issue is created.
The securities issue questionnaire is filled out by the depositary in advance or directly upon the first acceptance for accounting of securities of this issue.
After the maturity of all securities of an issue, the date of removal from service is recorded in the issue questionnaire.
The execution of a depositary operation begins with the receipt of an instruction - a document submitted to the depositary and signed by an authorized person.
The completion of a depositary operation is the transmission of a report on the execution of the operation to all necessary persons.
As of the first day of each month, verification statements of individual account balances are prepared for all individual accounts.
A brief depot balance is compiled daily, broken down by asset and liability, for all issues of securities serviced by the depositary, with summary totals for all issues.
As of the first day of each month, a full depot balance is compiled in the depositary. The full depot balance is compiled for each issue of securities with the derivation of totals for the asset and liability of the depot.
