    Solution

    "Over-the-counter" can be used to refer to stocks that trade via a dealer network as opposed to on a centralized exchange (like NSE, MCX, etc.). Certain securities (like unlisted shares) and derivatives (like forwards contracts) are traded by broker-dealers who negotiate directly with one another. Unlike Futures and Options contract which are traded on exchange involving a clearing corporation between Buyer and seller, Swaps & Forward Contracts are traded OTC.
