What is a short margin? When will it occur?
When trades are performed without sufficient margin (for F&O SPAN and Exposure and for equity VAR+ELM+Adhoc), net buy premium, physical delivery margins, and marked-to-market losses (if applicable) as prescribed by the exchange.
In case of a margin shortfall for the first time, the trader will be charged 1% of the amount. However, if a trader fails to maintain the margin amount three times a month, 5% of the amount will be charged.
