Margin Shortfall

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
