As per our previous communication, we would like to remind you about the lot size revisions and subsequent actions for BANKNIFTY, NIFTY, and SENSEX quarterly and half-yearly contracts. The revised lot sizes are detailed in the following table: Which contracts are impacted by this? The quarterly/half-yearly contracts expiring from March 2025 onwards are getting impacted... Read more

Which contracts are impacted by this? The quarterly/half-yearly contracts expiring from March 2025 onwards are getting impacted. What action is required from you? If your existing quarterly/half-yearly positions are not in multiples of the revised lot size, you would be required to square off the existing position or purchase more lots. Example: If you hold an existing position with 1 lot of NIFTY (March 2025 expiry and later) and the current lot size is 25, you have two options to align with the revised lot size of 75: 1. Add 2 more lots 2. Square off your existing 1-lot Why is this recommended? Post revision, if your existing positions aren’t in multiples of the new lot size, you won’t be able to close/square off the position or book profit / losses. IMPORTANT: Such a position may be worthless on the day of expiry What actions shall be taken by Upstox? 1. If you don’t have existing Futures positions with quarterly/half-yearly expiry, you won’t be able to place fresh orders in such contracts. Fresh orders shall be permitted only after the expiry of the existing December 2024 contract. 2. If you have a long (Option Buy) position with quarterly/half-yearly expiry of March 2025 and later, no action shall be taken by Upstox. You can either exit the position or purchase further lots to match it to the new lot size. Otherwise, such positions may become worthless. 3. If you have a short (Option Sell) position with quarterly/half-yearly expiry of March 2025 and later, you shall be permitted to trade in such contracts until restricted by Upstox. 4. If your existing short positions are not in multiples of the revised lot size by the below deadline, margin and MTM requirements will apply. As we won’t be able to square off such positions in case there is a margin shortfall post revision of lot size, we will fully or partially square off the existing short position in December itself. The permitted timeline for matching short positions in the revised multiples is as follows:

Please take cognisance of all your positions and plan your trade accordingly.

If you recently participated in the Tata Motors merger and noticed you may have received fewer shares than expected, you’re not alone. This can be confusing, but it’s due to some shares being sold to cover the Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) on deemed dividends (amounts treated as dividends for tax purposes, even if not actually paid out). To help you understand why this happened and how it affects you, here’s a simple breakdown: Q: What was my expected share allocation? A: For example, if you owned 100 Tata Motors DVR shares at ₹100 each (totalling ₹10,000), you were expecting to get 70 Tata Motors shares based on the 10:7 swap ratio from the merger. Q: What are deemed dividends and how does TDS work? A: During the merger, part of the company’s profits was treated as deemed dividends. If the deemed dividend was ₹20 per DVR share, your total deemed dividend for 100 shares would be ₹2,000. The company deducts 10% TDS (which is ₹200) to pay to the government on your behalf. You can claim this back when filing your taxes. Q: Why were some of my shares sold? A: To cover the ₹200 TDS, the company sold about 1 of your Tata Motors shares. If the share price was ₹500, they sold 1 share for ₹500. Q: How many shares did I receive after the sale? A: You initially expected 70 shares, but after selling 1 to cover TDS, you ended up with 69 shares. Q: What happens to any leftover money from the sale? A: Any extra money from the sale of shares will be credited to your bank account within 45 to 60 days. Q: How do I calculate my new average price per share? A: Your total investment was ₹10,000 for 100 DVR shares. After the swap, the new average price per share is calculated as: - New Average Price = ₹10,000 ÷ 70 = ₹142.86 per share. Q: How will taxes apply when I sell my shares? A: If you sell your 69 shares at ₹600 each, here’s how your profits work out: 1. Capital Gain per Share: Selling Price - New Average Price = ₹600 - ₹142.86 = ₹457.14. This means you make ₹457.14 profit on each share. 2.Total Capital Gain for 69 Shares: 69 shares × ₹457.14 = ₹31,428.66. So, your total profit from selling all 69 shares is ₹31,428.66. 3.Adjusting for Deemed Dividend: From your total profit, you need to subtract the ₹2,000 deemed dividend. Adjusted Capital Gains = ₹31,428.66 - ₹2,000 = ₹29,428.66. This ₹29,428.66 is what will be taxed as Long-Term Capital Gains (LTCG). If your total LTCG for the year is under ₹1 lakh, you might not have to pay any tax on it!

Introducing TBT Engine - A leap into the future of trading Earlier this year, we became the 1st broker in India to introduce Tick-by-Tick (TBT) powered charts, enabling you with accurate indicator mapping, pattern recognition and improved analysis. After this success, we’re ready with the second phase of our TBT offering, which is much bigger, better, and bolder than before…. Presenting, TBT Engine, a suite of innovative features that leverage TBT data's full potential. You can watch the product keynote here in case you missed it - https://youtu.be/3GRNJrPjlp0?si=C3NuHHrMWCNtLW4c. And to use TBT Engine during market hours, click here - https://upstox.onelink.me/0H1s/Tbtengine Key features under TBT Engine 1. Order Flow Insights There are two main types of orders placed by traders: Limit and Market Orders. Currently, most traders prefer placing Limit Orders. However, a significant challenge with Limit Orders is ensuring their successful execution, often leading to guesswork during trade placement. To address this and improve execution rates, we’ve introduced Order Flow Insights. This feature leverages real-time Tick-by-Tick (TBT) data to provide traders with the following critical information before placing an order, helping them make more informed decisions and enhancing their chances of success. - Depth Rank: Tells you where your limit order stands in the market compared to other open orders. For example, if you place a limit order for XYZ stock at ₹100, you’ll immediately know at what level your order stands in the market. - Traded at or below/above: Tells you the percentage of orders traded below your limit buy order or above your limit sell order at that point of time - Qty. ahead: Tells you the total quantity of shares standing ahead of your order waiting to be traded - LIVE alerts: Notifies you every 15 minutes when your depth rank worsens 2. Market Depth 30 While trading in volatile markets, especially F&O contracts, the top 5 levels of market depth data are insufficient, as these levels can fill up quickly, leading to missed opportunities. To fix this gap, we will provide an in-depth order book, up to level 30 using the TBT data stream. 3. Demand and Supply Zones This section will show the top 5 prices with the highest quantities standing in the Exchange’s order book. It will help you with better trend identification. The Demand Zone helps you understand where there is strong buying interest, while the Supply Zone shows where selling pressure is high. This feature offers a clear advantage, helping you identify key price levels where the market might stabilize, rise, or fall. 4. GTT Trigger Engine Often, traders complain that their GTT orders weren’t triggered. This issue frequently occurs with highly volatile scrips. A major reason behind this is that most retail brokers use Snapshot Data, which is sampled at intervals, and therefore, their GTT triggers may miss capturing rapid price movements. We’re going to address this issue by utilising TBT data. Unlike Snapshot Data, TBT provides a continuous stream of all trade packets, ensuring that no price movement is overlooked. This comprehensive data allows for precise matching and reliable triggering of GTT orders. 5. Trade Price Checker Traders often need to verify whether their trades were executed correctly and check for any discrepancies between the broker’s report and the Exchange’s records. With our Trade Price Checker, we provide detailed information about every trade you place, regardless of which broker platform you use. How this works - to verify the accuracy of your trades, simply enter the Exchange order number into the Trade Price Checker. Upstox will instantly retrieve detailed information, including the exact time of execution, the precise trade price, and a reverse-matching of your order details. This feature allows you to see exactly how and with whom your order was matched, providing complete transparency and reinforcing trust in the accuracy and integrity of your transactions. With the power of our TBT Engine, your decisions are backed by precise, actionable market data insights. You’ll have a clear view of how many orders are ahead of you, where the demand-supply zones are, how many quantities are in the queue and more. This enables you to adjust your strategy for optimal execution. This level of access, once reserved for HFTs, and institutional traders is now at your fingertips, dramatically reducing information asymmetry and empowering you to make informed trading decisions. TBT Engine isn’t just an upgrade; it's a paradigm shift. TL;DR Upstox’s TBT Engine is here to help you: - Improve probability of success - Place informed trades - Gain a deeper understanding of the markets - Manage risks - Gain a competitive edge Quick links - Keynote: Upstox’s Biggest Product Launch Ever! | Feature access: https://upstox.onelink.me/0H1s/Tbtengine *Available only for NSE Cash and F&O scrips

On Saturday, 2 March 2024, NSE & BSE will host a special LIVE trading session in the Equity and Derivative (F&O) segments. Why is this session happening? This session is happening because SEBI wants to ensure that market intermediaries such as Exchanges, Clearing Houses, and Depository Organizations can smoothly switch to a backup plan - the Disaster Recovery (DR) site in case of an unexpected disaster. It aims to ensure that trading activities continue without interruptions and that all data remains secure. What are the timings of this LIVE session ? The day will be divided into two trading sessions: Live Trading from the Primary Site (Trading Session 1):

Market Schedule	Start Time	End Time
Equity
Pre Open*	9:00 AM	9:08 AM
Normal Market	9:15 AM	10:00 AM
Derivative
Equity F&O	9:15 AM	10:00 AM

Live Trading from the DR Site (Trading Session 2):

Market Schedule	Start Time	End Time
Equity
Pre Open*	11:15 AM	11:23 AM
Normal Market	11:30 AM	12:30 PM
Closing Session	12:40 PM	12:50 PM
Derivative
Equity F&O	11:30 AM	12:30 PM

What to keep in mind on this day?

🔸 Any open orders not executed by the end of the first session will be cancelled and won’t be carried forward to the next session
🔸 Securities (including stocks having F&O Contracts) will have upper and lower circuit limits set at 5%
🔸 Stocks with existing 2% limits will maintain that limit
🔸 All futures contracts will operate within a 5% range
🔸 Typically, stocks in the F&O segment and futures contracts enjoy flexible price bands in a regular trading session. This means that if the circuit limit is reached, it is usually relaxed to facilitate continuous trading. However, this standard practice won't apply during this special session.
🔸 Only delivery trades would be allowed (No Intraday).
🔸 No fresh position would be permitted under MTF, only square off trades would be permitted.
🔸 Considering 2 March is a settlement holiday, any credits from the F&O segment and intraday profits from 1 March won't be available for trading during this session
🔸 Sale proceeds from BTST sell transactions on 2 March will be settled on Monday, 4 March. Credits will be available for trading on Tuesday, 5 March
🔸 SIP orders on Upstox won't be executed during the Special Trading Session. Scheduled SIP orders on 2 March will be processed on the next trading day i.e. 4 March
🔸 Brokerage charges will be applicable as usual
🔸 Fund withdrawals will not be processed on this day

For more information, check out the circulars here (NSE, BSE) This is the first time that the Exchanges are switching trading from their primary site to the disaster recovery (DR) site during a LIVE trading session. As per a notification from the Exchange (Refer to point 6), during this switch, there could be a possibility of executed trades getting cancelled by the Exchange. Details of such cancelled trades will be notified to you by EOD.

Starting from 12th January 2023, any Standard Withdrawal Request placed after 8 AM on a Friday, will be processed on a Monday. If Monday is a trading holiday it will be processed on the next trading day. What does this mean? To transfer funds from your trading account to your registered bank account linked with Upstox, you need to place a Standard Withdrawal request or an Instant Withdrawal request on our platform. Earlier, if you placed a Standard Withdrawal request after 8 AM on a Friday, your funds would get transferred to your registered bank account by 3 PM on Saturday if it was a working Saturday. However, now any Standard Withdrawal request placed after 8 AM on Friday will be processed by 3 PM on Monday. This means you’ll receive your funds in your registered bank account by 3 PM on Monday. If Monday happens to be a trading holiday, you’ll get your funds on the next trading day. Why has this change come into effect? As per a recent SEBI circular dated 20th July 2021, SEBI has introduced a mechanism wherein brokers in addition to depositing clients money with Exchange/Clearing Corporation (CC), are also required to allocate the funds to the respective clients at the Exchange/CC. This circular will ensure that client funds are not misused in any way. As the second phase of this circular comes into effect, your funds will be deposited and allocated to the Exchange/CC on a real time basis. And since the Exchange/CC are non functional on Saturday we will be unable to deallocate your funds and withdraw it from the CC/ Exchange to meet your withdrawals on weekends. What should you do, if you need funds earlier? If you need your funds earlier you have the option to place an Instant Withdrawal request on any trading day between 10 AM to 6 PM. By placing an Instant Withdrawal request, funds will be transferred from your Upstox account into your registered bank account within 15 minutes. For placing an Instant Withdrawal request, keep the following in mind → -Through Instant Withdrawal, you can withdraw anywhere between ₹100 up to ₹2 lakhs per day -Ensure that the IMPS mode is active on your bank account -Used margin is the total amount that you have utilised against any open or closed positions and it needs to be zero. -Positions that are still open and not squared off should be exited before placing an instant withdrawal request -Instant Withdrawal is only available on trading days. As per this, what’s the Standard Withdrawal TAT for all days?

Trading day	Withdrawal request time	Time frame
Monday - Friday	Before 8.00 AM	By 3:00 PM on the same day
Monday - Thursday	After 8.00 AM	By 3:00 PM on the next trading day
Friday - Saturday	After 8.00 AM	By 3:00 PM on Monday (or the next trading day if Monday is a holiday)
Bank holiday/ Settlement holidays/ Public holiday	Any time	By 3:00 pm on the next trading day

As per a SEBI mandate, physical settlement is compulsory if a trader holds a position in any Stock F&O contracts on the expiry date. What is Physical Settlement? In a Stock F&O contract, when there is an open position that has not been squared off by its expiry date, Physical Settlement takes place. This implies they have to physically give/take delivery of Stocks to settle the open transactions instead of settling them with cash. Examples of physical settlement: Futures Long positions of 1 lot of Reliance, 250 quantity at Rs. 2000 i.e. Rs. 5 lakh contract value F&O = 20% charges i.e. Rs. 1,00,000. This means, you are required to give Rs. 1 lakh, but if you decide to physically settle then you need to have a total contract value of Rs. 5 lakhs. Short positions of 1 lot Reliance 250 quantity at Rs. 2000 i.e. Rs. 5 lakh contract value F&O = 20% charges i.e. Rs. 1,00,000. This means, you are required to give Rs. 1 lakh, but if you decide to physically settle then you need to have the holdings of 250 quantities of Reliance and Rs. 1 lakh margin money till the expiry date. Options Long - 1 lot of Reliance, 250 quantity for the strike price of Rs. 2000 Call (CE) Options. If the underlying price of Reliance is greater than the strike price of Rs. 2000, then the contract is said to be ITM (In-The-Money). If you wish to go for physical settlement, you need to maintain a free ledger balance of Rs 5 Lakh in your account, else physical settlement would not be done. Long - 1 lot of Reliance, 250 quantity for the Strike price of Rs. 2000 Put (PE) Options. If the underlying price of Reliance is lesser than the strike price of Rs. 2000, then the contract is said to be ITM (In-The-Money). If you wish to go for physical settlement, you need to provide the Stocks (shares) equal to the lot quantity positioned to be available in the Demat account, else physical settlement would not be done. Please note --

Short ITM PE options and treatment would be similar to Long ITM CE options. Free ledger balance equal to the contract value to be maintained.
Short ITM CE options, treatment would be similar to Long ITM PE options. Holdings shares of lot quantity are positioned to be available in the Demat account.

What is the process for Physical Settlement on Upstox? To opt for physical settlement on Upstox, you need to provide your consent first, and here are the details for the same:

To provide your consent for physical settlement of open Stock F&O contract(s) with December 2022 expiry visit the ‘Profile’ section on your Upstox account on our App / Web and give your consent from here before EOD on Tuesday, 27th December 2022.
Based on your consent, Upstox will evaluate whether your position qualifies for physical settlements and if there are sufficient ledger balances/holdings (whichever applicable) is available.
Kindly, plan your trades keeping in mind that you will not be able to trade in fresh positions in the current December 2022 expiry F&O contracts from Wednesday, 28th December 2022 onwards.
Correspondingly, position conversion(s) on carrying forward of any stock futures positions shall also not be permitted.

What other impact could this have on your positions? Your position will automatically be squared off on expiry day at 12:00 PM in case:

You have not provided your consent for physical settlement
You provided your consent for physical settlement and do not have Ledger Value (equal to contract value) / holdings available for the physical settlement of your positions.
In the case of funds/holdings not being available for all the open positions, we will execute square-offs for all the positions. Thus no partial funds/holdings evaluation for the expiring positions will be considered by our team.

What else to keep in mind? Delivery margins would be applicable as per Exchange norms on all the existing long ITM (In The Money) stock option positions in a staggered manner as explained below:

10% of delivery margins computed on expiry -4 days EOD (Friday)
25% of delivery margins computed on expiry -3 days EOD (Monday)
45% of delivery margins computed on expiry -2 days EOD (Tuesday)*
70% of delivery margins computed on expiry -1 day EOD (Wednesday)*

To avoid margin shortages, Upstox would be blocking such (above-mentioned) delivery margins from the Beginning of the Day (BOD) instead of the End of the Day (EOD).
If the positions are not squared off for any reason (e.g: non-liquidity), then the contract would have to be settled physically and you would be liable to pay the entire amount of the settlement.

* If you have opted for physical settlement, you would be required to fulfill the entire funds (contract value) / holdings requirement by EOD on Tuesday, 27th December 2022. In the case of spread contracts, you are advised to provide margins for both legs since the risk of one leg square off by you anytime would result in physical settlement of the other leg. Brokerage in Physical settlement: Since there is a substantial increase in effort and risk to settle these F&O positions resulting in physical delivery if F&O positions result in the physical delivery brokerage will be 0.25% of the physical settled value. For all the netted-off positions brokerage will be 0.1% of the physical settled value. All physical settled contracts (Futures & Options) will also carry an applicable Exchange charge. And that’s all. Keep a watchful eye on this page for more updates from Upstox!
