Due to ongoing tensions in the Gulf region, crude oil prices are seeing higher-than-usual volatility. As a result, margin requirements for the 19 March 2026 contract may increase.
What this means for you:
- You may need to maintain higher margins to continue holding your positions
- If your available balance falls short, your positions could be partially or fully squared off
- This square-off may happen without prior notice to manage risk
To avoid any disruption, we recommend keeping adequate funds in your account at all times.
For any queries, feel free to contact Upstox Support.

What’s a settlement holiday?
Settlement holidays are when markets are open, but settlement of your trades does not take place as per the usual T+1 cycle because either the depositaries (NSDL and CDSL) or the banks are closed on that day.
How does this holiday impact your trades?
Since the settlement date denotes the final transfer of ownership of shares and not the day you made the trade, a holiday in between causes a delay in the final transfer of shares.
You can also check the list of future settlement holidays here.
