last six months for 90% of the observations, for the basket size of Rs. 100 Million.
ii. The company should have a listing history of 6 months.
iii. Companies that are allowed to trade in F&O segment are only eligible to be constituent of the index.
iv. A company which comes out with an IPO will be eligible for inclusion in the index, if it fulfills the normal eligibility criteria for
the index for a 3 month period instead of a 6 month period.

Index Re-Balancing:
Index is re-balanced on semi-annual basis. The cut-off date is January 31 and July 31 of each year, i.e. For semi-annual review of
indices, average data for six months ending the cut-off date is considered. Four weeks prior notice is given to market from the date of
