Understanding Optimal Margin Requirement and Delayed Payment Charges.
When you trade, the exchange sets a minimum margin that needs to be maintained in your account. To keep your trades running without any interruptions, it is recommended that you maintain a little more than just the minimum, this is called the Optimal Margin. Ideally, keeping an extra 10–25% above your required margin gives you a safe cushion so that you are never caught off guard during market fluctuations.
If your account falls below this optimal margin, you will be charged Delayed Payment charges of up to 5.10% on the shortfall.
How Are Delayed Payment Charges Calculated?
Your Delayed Payment charges are calculated at 1.10% on the maximum optimal margin used, and 18% GST is applicable on top of that.
For example, if your maximum optimal margin used was ₹1,00,000:
Delayed Payment Charge = ₹1,00,000 × 1.10% = ₹1,100 GST (18%) = ₹1,100 × 18% = ₹198 Total Delayed Payment Charges = ₹1,100 + ₹198 = ₹1,298
How Can You Avoid These Charges?
Simply keep 10–25% more than your required margin in your account at all times. For example, if your required margin is 50%, maintaining 60–75% in your account will ensure you never run into these charges.
