Margin Call on shorted options

F&O

Hi,

I have a query regarding margin utilization. I have bought a CE Option and shorted another CE.

I squared off the CE option first. Since the Shorted CE option is open, i received a message that "EQUITY margin utilisation for XXX has reached 202.61% of available balance. Add funds immediately on https://zrd.sh/funds. Positions can be squared off if margins are insufficient.

Position square off will happen at end of the day or instantly.?
Will there be any additional charges ?

Squaring-off can happen anytime after you receive margin call and fail to add required funds.

There are no additional charges.
