If SEBI’s objective is to safeguard investor’s interests, Do you think a regulation around auto-square off might also be around the corner (like minimum reaction time/ no square-offs before 3:20/ lot size determination ) - considering it’s completely arbitrary and brokers have vested interest here with all the related charges. (Just wondering, not sure if this can be called a regulatory foresight though :).

The regulator would want squareoffs to be done as soon as possible; they would wish for markets to be safer than less safe. I think if brokers today give time till 3.20, it is more to allow customers to transfer additional funds. Otherwise, if you think about it, why even give time till 3.20 pm if the incentive is to generate brokerage?
