These modifications aim to improve <strong>market stability<\/strong> and <strong>risk management<\/strong>. Below is an overview of the changes to help you stay updated:<\/p>\n<h3><strong>1. Increase in Contract Size <em>(Effective November 20, 2024)<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/43.205.138.160\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Index-Table-Lot-Changes.png\" alt=\"Index-Table-Lot-Changes\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>This adjustment affects <strong>trading volumes<\/strong> and the <strong>margin requirements<\/strong> for each contract, so traders should plan their positions accordingly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>2. Weekly Expiry Contracts Limited <em>(Effective November 20, 2024)<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Going forward, only <strong>Nifty 50<\/strong> and <strong>Sensex<\/strong> will offer <strong>weekly expiry contracts<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>All other index options will have only <strong>monthly expiries<\/strong>, reducing the frequency of expiry-related market adjustments for other indices.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>3. Additional Margins on Expiry Day <em>(Effective November 20, 2024)<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>To manage volatility, an <strong>Extreme Loss Margin (ELM)<\/strong> of <strong>2%<\/strong> will be applied to <strong>short positions on expiry day<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>This is an added precaution to protect against <strong>sudden price movements<\/strong>, especially for traders with high exposure on expiry days.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>4. No Calendar Spread Benefits on Expiry Day <em>(Effective February 1, 2025)<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Margin benefits for calendar spreads<\/strong> will not be available on expiry day, impacting the cost efficiency for <strong>spread strategies<\/strong> during these times.<\/li>\n<li>This change is intended to further control <strong>market risk<\/strong> on high-volume expiry days.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>5. Intraday Monitoring of Position Limits <em>(Effective April 1, 2025)<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Position limits<\/strong> will now be monitored <strong>throughout the trading day<\/strong> rather than only at the end of the day.<\/li>\n<li>This adjustment enhances <strong>real-time surveillance<\/strong> to prevent potential breaches in position limits and helps in maintaining <strong>fair trading practices<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For further details, traders are encouraged to review the official circulars from <strong>NSE<\/strong>, <strong>BSE<\/strong>, and <strong>SEBI<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/nsearchives.nseindia.com\/content\/circulars\/FAOP64625.pdf\"><strong>NSE Circular: NSE\/FAOP\/64625 dated October 18, 2024<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bseindia.com\/markets\/MarketInfo\/DispNewNoticesCirculars.aspx?page=20241021-13\"><strong>BSE Notice: 20241021-13 dated October 21, 2024<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sebi.gov.in\/legal\/circulars\/oct-2024\/measures-to-strengthen-equity-index-derivatives-framework-for-increased-investor-protection-and-market-stability_87208.html\"><strong>SEBI Circular: SEBI\/HO\/MRD\/TPD-1\/P\/CIR\/2024\/13 dated October 01, 2024<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>These updates represent the ongoing efforts of <strong>SEBI<\/strong> and exchanges to <strong>refine market structure<\/strong>, enhance <strong>stability<\/strong>, and <strong>manage risks<\/strong> more effectively.
