The fourth and final phase of the SEBI’s peak margin norms kicked in on 1st September 2021. This mandates stock and commodity brokers to collect 100% of the total margin required for initiating intraday positions. Read SEBI Circular.
Last year, SEBI had introduced the peak margin regulations with an aim to decrease speculative trading and curb the leverage brokers offer to their clients.
This led the brokers to move away from using the end-of-day position to calculate margin requirement to using the intraday peak position from December 2020. The rules mandate the exchange to take snapshots of all margins randomly four times in the day, the highest margin of which will then become the peak margin.
What does this mean for you?
From 1st September 2021, you are required to maintain a margin equivalent to 100% of the overnight margin (NRML margins) even for your intraday positions in the F&O segment.
So, in order to avoid position liquidation and steer clear of insufficient-margin penalty, kindly make the necessary margin available in the form of funds or pledge securities against your positions.
