SEBI Margin Rules (2021)
Post SEBI's Peak Margin circular (2021), intraday margin = VAR + ELM margin on the full position. Minimum 20% of trade value must be available. Full 100% margin is needed for delivery. F&O SPAN margin varies by contract and volatility.
Leverage warning: Higher leverage = higher potential gain AND loss. SEBI restricts intraday leverage to protect retail investors.
⚠️ Disclaimer: Actual margin requirements depend on SEBI norms, your broker, and stock volatility. Check with your broker. Source: SEBI, NSE.
