Fat-finger error prompts BSE, NSE to tighten OFS order controls

A fat-finger error during a recent public sector offer for sale (OFS) prompted stock exchanges to tighten oversight, according to a Moneycontrol report. A broker mistakenly placed a disproportionate order, triggering the exchange's risk controls. BSE and NSE have now directed brokers to strengthen access, monitoring and risk controls for OFS bidding terminals.
