Index Methodology
Eligibility Criteria for Selection of Constituent Stocks:
i. Companies should form part of NIFTY 500 at the time of review. In case, the number of eligible stocks representing a particular
sector within NIFTY 500 falls below 10, then deficit number of stocks shall be selected from the universe of stocks ranked within top
800 based on both average daily turnover and average daily full market capitalisation based on previous six months period data used
for index rebalancing of NIFTY 500.
ii. Companies should form part of Finance Sector.
iii. The company's trading frequency should be at least 90% in the last six months.
iv. The company should have a listing history of 6 months. 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.
v. Final selection of 15 companies shall be done based on the free float market capitalization of the companies with an aim to provide
adequate representation to sectors such as banks, financial institutions, housing finance and other financial services.

more than 33% and weightage of top 3 stocks cumulatively shall not be more than 62% at the time of rebalancing.
