Calculate the exact cash required to open intraday and F&O positions as per latest SEBI rules.
Since the implementation of SEBI's Peak Margin rules, trading on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) requires 100% of the prescribed margin to be available upfront. This applies to both intraday and carry-forward positions.
If your account balance falls below the required margin at any point during the day (as captured in 4 random snapshots by the exchange), a penalty is levied on the shortfall amount. Always keep a 5-10% buffer in your trading account.
