It had received the market regulator's permission from BSE and had become a member. It used to facilitate the DSE members to trade on the BSE terminals.

However, the option for delivering shares either in physical or demat form started in November 1998.[citation needed] DSE initialised its ₹1.25 billion Trade Guarantee Fund on 27 July 1998.
