How does block funds facility work for Intraday?

Margin requirements are crucial when trading in the stock market as they determine how much capital a trader must maintain in their account to initiate or hold a position.

Margin can be categorized into two broad types:

A. Initial Margin

•  The minimum amount required to enter a position.

•  Required for Intraday, Margin Trading Funding (MTF) and Futures & Options (F&O).


•   Computed as a percentage of the total trade value.

B. Maintenance Margin

•    The minimum balance that must be maintained to keep a position open.

•    If the account falls below this, a margin call may be issued.

Note: The leverage is provided as per the RMS policy.


Let’s understand how blocked funds facility works for Intraday and what you can expect –

Fresh FNO Position – BUY (Intraday)

Scrip Name : Nifty PE 06 March 2025
Quantity: 750
Price : 100
Total / Trade Value: Quantity x Price = 750 x 100 = 75,000
Margin or Leverage % : 50%
Margin Required : 75,000 x 50% = 37500

Hence, margin required = 75,000 x 50% = 37500

Scenario 1 : If position is squared off at a loss, say of Rs.5000, then:

Debits:

-   Margin of Rs. 37,500 will be debited by approximately 4:00 pm

-   Applicable brokerage + taxes will be debited by approximately 9:00 pm

Credits:

-   Margin amount after adjusting loss will be credited back into your blocked funds i.e. 37,500 – 5000 = Rs.32,500 will be credited into your blocked funds by 5:30 pm

Scenario 2: If position is squared off at a profit, say of Rs.10,000, then:

Debits:

-   Margin of Rs. 37,500 will be debited by approximately 4:00 pm

Credits:

-   Entire Margin amount of Rs.37,500 will be credited back into your blocked funds by evening 5:30 pm -   Profit of Rs.10,000 (after adjusting applicable brokerage + taxes) will be credited on T+1 day (T being trade date)
