    What is 'Withheld Profit' amount and when will this amount be released in my limits for further use?
    As per the regulatory requirement, Futures & Options profits that are booked but unsettled (i.e. payout/credit of funds is yet to be received), cannot be used to take further exposure as margin till the time they are settled by regulators. Accordingly, such cumulative net profit amount after adjusting the losses for that day across all products is withheld from your current limits. In case there is a cumulative net loss for the day post adjustments of all unsettled profits and losses then there will not be any amount withheld from limits till you make cumulative net profits which are unsettled. You can use this withheld amount for taking further exposure once the 'Withheld Profit' amount is released/added to your current limits which is done after the EOD processing when the next trade date is greater than or equal to the funds payout date.
    Will I be able to use the value in the 'Withheld Profits' column for taking positions on next trade date? What is the significance of this 'Withheld Profit' amount in trading? Where can I see this 'Withheld Profit' amount? When will the withheld profit amount be settled/released/added in my limits? What all amounts would be used to calculate cumulative net profits or losses? Whether profit/ loss of all Future and Options products will be impacted? How will the withheld amount be calculated during the day and end of the day? What if I have profit in the first trade and I want to place another order, can I use that profit to palace another order during the day? Can I use withheld or unsettled profits to add the margin requirement for my positions during the day? Can I use the premium receivable from the Option trades which are unsettled and withheld to place another order under F&O? Will there be any amount withheld if there is a cumulative net loss? When will the 'Withheld Profits' get released in limits? What happens if the cumulative net amount at any point is Negative or Zero?
