No. Margin is blocked only on FuturePLUS orders, which result into increased risk exposure. For calculating the margin at order level, value of all buy orders and sell orders (in the same Contract) is arrived at. Margin is levied on the higher of two i.e. if buy orders value is higher than sell order value in the same contract, only buy orders will be margined and vice versa. In other words, margin is levied at the maximum marginable order value in the same contract for FuturesPLUS. For example, you have placed the following buy and sell orders: As mentioned above, the higher of buy and sell order value in the same contract is margined. In the above given example, for ACC Jun contract Buy order value is greater since there is no sell order, hence Margin @ 10% would be levied on Rs.142880/-. For the ACC Jul 2008 contract sell order value is greater than buy order value. Hence margin would be levied at specified margin % of 10% on Rs. 143444
