A Short Sale is a trading strategy in which an investor borrows shares they do not own, sells them in the open market at the current price, and aims to repurchase them later at a lower price—profiting from the price difference. SEBI permits short selling by all categories of investors in India, provided shares are delivered within the settlement period (using the Securities Lending and Borrowing Mechanism, or SLBM, for naked short positions). Short selling plays an important role in market efficiency by allowing bearish views to be expressed, improving price discovery, and providing liquidity.
