    What happens if limits are not sufficient to meet the additional margin requirements?

    Our risk management system/team may, at its discretion place a square off order at market rate to close the open position. However, before placing the square off order all pending futures orders in that underlying-group (contracts having same underlying and recognized in the same group for portfolio) are cancelled by our risk monitoring system/team. Following are the sequence of actions taken by our risk monitoring system/team.


    1. Cancel all pending orders in that underlying portfolio-group and see if limits are now sufficient to provide for additional required margin. If yes, block the additional margin, else go to step (2).


    2. Square off in Lot size and/or at the discretion in near month contract first in that underlying portfolio group and see if limits are now sufficient to provide for additional required margin. If yes, block the additional margin, else go to
    step (3).


    3. Square off in Lot size of the next month contract in that underlying portfolio group and see if limits are now sufficient to provide for additional required margin. If yes, block the additional margin, else carry on the process in the same way till all the positions in that underlying portfolio group are totally squared off. 

    However, it is clarified that if, for any reason, the risk monitoring system/team does not square off the open position even in a situation where the limits are not sufficient to meet additional margin requirements, it is ultimately the customer's responsibility to square off the open position on his own to limit his losses. 

    Once a position has been created by the customer, he is solely responsible for the profits or losses emanating from such position. ICICI Securities Ltd is under no obligation to compulsorily square off any open position and in no circumstances, can be held responsible for not squaring off open positions or for resulting losses therefrom.
