Penalty is charged on the shortfall amount at the following rates:

If the short collection continues for more than 3 consecutive days, a penalty of 5% is applied on the shortfall for each subsequent instance of short collection.

If there are more than 5 instances of short collection in a calendar month, then penalty at the rate of 5% is charged for every further instance of shortfall.

All Stockbrokers are required to report to the exchange margins available in the client’s account as against the margins required for positions carried forward. This process of informing the Exchange, the margins available in a client’s account is referred to as ‘Margin Reporting’.

If the margins available in the account >= margins required by the Exchange, no penalty is levied.

If the margins available in the account < margins required by the Exchange, a penalty is charged by the Exchange on such shortfall.

The easiest way to keep track of any shortfall is by looking at the daily margin statement on Back Office by around 9 pm or see it on your registered email by around 10.30pm. In case the margin statement shows any shortfall in the overall margin status, then you will have to bring in additional funds into your account at least to the extent of the shortfall to avoid any penalty.
