    What should I do in case of a margin shortfall?

    You must:

    1. Allocate additional funds immediately, OR

    2. Square-off/close positions to reduce the margin requirement.

    If you do not address the margin shortfall, your positions will be auto squared-off.

    To avoid margin shortfalls:

    1. Monitor your margin status regularly on Web or App

    2. Avoid using entire available margin—always leave a buffer

    3. Understand the M2M impact, especially during volatile sessions

    4. Keep an eye on expiry days and physical delivery requirements 

    What is the timeline to act on a shortfall? When does margin shortfall occur? How will I know if I have a margin shortfall?
