    Commodity Margin And Settlement

    What is "Inter-adjustment" or "Netting of Funds"?

    This is the automatic process of balancing your debits (pay-ins) and credits (payouts).

    • Pay-in: Money you owe for buying or for margin or MTM loss or Premium payble on Options buy position.
    • Payout: Money you receive from selling or closing a position or MTM Profit or Premium receivable for Options sell position.
    • Inter-Adjustment: The system first adjusts the pay-in and pay-out within the commodity segment. The remaining payout will be used to cover dues in other segments like Equity or F&O. You can track this in the Cash Projection or Peak Margin History reports.
