What changes due to the new upfront margin requirements?

As per regulations, effective from October 7, 2024, 100% of the proceeds from selling holdings will be credited to the trading account and made available on the same day for all trades, including stocks and F&O positions.

Previously, only 80% of proceeds were available for further trades on the same day, with the remaining 20% available the next day. For example, selling shares worth ₹1,00,000 would provide ₹80,000 to be used on the same day and the remaining ₹20,000 the following day. Now, the entire ₹1,00,000 can be used to place trades on the same day. Click here to know more about the changes.
