How is free cash available for delivery-based trading calculated during market hours if I trade Futures and Options and also have collateral margin?

Requirement for 50:50 Cash & Collateral

This is an Exchange requirement, not Zerodha’s. Here’s the link Search for ‘Effective Deposits’ on the above page: At least 50% of the Effective Deposits should be in the form of cash. I wouldn’t be able to comment on policies of other brokers, they could be blocking their own cash margins to allow you to take positions. As I said earlier, its not our policy, its the Exchange’s policy.
