Scrip selection criteria for BSE PSU Index
For consideration of scrips for inclusion in BSE PSU Index, Public Sector Undertaking refers to any undertaking wherein the Central Government holding is equal to or more than 51%. Since BSE PSU index is a subset of BSE-500 index, scrips that form part of BSE-500 index automatically get included in BSE PSU index.

Note:
If an existing constituent is traded under the ex-entitlement basis it will be excluded from all BSE Indices. This is done because during this period BSE is unable to ascertain the valuation of the constituent and valuation of a constituent is required for Index Calcualtion.
