Hi Zerodha RMS Team,

Why is the pledging system showing Bankbees margin haircut as 40%? On your haircut shared excel sheet, it shows haircut as 20%. Based on that i sold my banking stocks which have haircuts varying from 20% to 40%, to now see on your pledging site on console, having Bankbees at 40%.

Please do revert back and correct it, as Index like Banknifty should have lower volatility compared to individual banks.

Haircut is not decided by broker, it is by clearing corporation who offers margin.

Thanks @siva-reddy, should this not be raised to clearing corporation? This just does not make any sense.

Meanwhile please see how can we keep that haircut excel sheet upto date, as i based my calculation based on it.
Only after BankBees got credited into my account i got see that haircut is 40% while that excel sheet is still showing 20%.

Meanwhile if this is set by clearing corporation, do we have a real time file version from them? Or this is exclusively for brokers only?
