In what scenarios, used margin will be updated?

Your 'Used Margin' section will be utilized in either of the following two scenarios:


Scenario 1: Funds Used for Trading-


When funds are used from your total 'Available to Trade' balance for trading, the amount will be reflected in 'Used Margin' as a positive value. This may occur in the following scenarios:


  • You buy a stock in the Equity Delivery segment.
  • You buy or short-sell a stock in the Equity Intraday segment.
  • You buy or short-sell a Derivatives (Futures & Options) contract in Intraday or Delivery.
  • You carry forward an open position to the next trading day in either a Futures contract or a short-side Options contract.


Scenario 2: Funds Receivable After Selling-


When you successfully sell a delivery position, the receivable amount will be reflected in 'Used Margin' as a negative value. This may occur in the following scenarios:


  • You successfully sell a stock in the Equity Delivery segment (from your Demat account).
  • You sell an open position (on the buy side) in the Options segment.
