What causes margin shortfall during pledging?

Modified on Mon, 26 May, 2025 at 12:21 PM

SEBI requires brokers to collect margins before executing orders. A margin shortfall occurs when available margins (funds or collateral) fall below SEBI's requirements. Margin requirements vary based on factors like liquidity, volatility, F&O contract expiry, and your portfolio positions.

You can check required margins in the order window.
