Some of the examples are -
| Scripts | NSE Haircut | Zerodha Haircut |
|---|---|---|
| NIFTYBEES | 9.46 | 11.44 |
| HDFCBANK | 13.02 | 16.49 |
| RELIANCE | 14.55 | 18.02 |
I am just quoting 3 large cap scripts, but for some med and small cap companies this difference is as high as 70-80%.
PS - I’m am looking for NSE haircut from APPSEC_COLLVAL_05052021.csv daily market report from NSE.
@Nakul Can you please confirm if he is referring the correct haircut file for pledging?
Anyhow coming to your point where is the concept of margin penalty entering here? can you give one example of trade with pledge collateral?
As mentioned in the 1st post of this thread -
If Zerodha’s haircut is more stringent then we get lesser margin for f&o trading. As in 1st post of this thread - example says margins are 800 (as per Zerodha haircut) vs 900 (as per NSE haircut). So, if we utilize 850 margin then as per Zerodha it’s negative balance but as per NSE it’s still below the prescribed margin limit. So, will Zerodha applies a penalty for 50 INR (850 - 800)? (Assuming exchange has captured margin utilization of 850)
Also the same case can be extended - if user utilizes 950 INR margin then as per NSE shortfall amount is only 50 INR but as per Zerodha margin shortfall is 150, so will Zerodha applies penalty for 150 INR or 50 INR?
Is there any way to see the margin shortfall penalty is actually deposited to exchange or is there any way to see how much margin shortfall penalty exchange has applied on the user’s account?
I think our understanding of pledging needs a small correction.
Anyhow let me go with your example, so if one pledges worth 100000, we give collateral of 80000 instead applying NSE haircut of 10% and should give 90k. So 80k is available in account then how one can take more position than 80k unless they have additional cash?
It’s very common because of intraday volatility margin requirement increases and post taking any f&o position account balance becomes negative, this is where exchange penalizes us with peak margin penalty come into play. I was recently penalized by this penalty amount.
because of intraday volatility
Is there any way to check margin penalty deposited to exchanges.
There’s a monthly invoice available on Console. This is a bill for all the charges posted on your account and the GST paid for it.
Zerodha is known for it’s transparency, but I am not sure why they are not transparent in this topic.
We asked -
Also not even replied on - margin penalty calculation logic if there is difference in Zerodha and NSE haircut.
I suspect there are some “adjustments” that go on from time to time just like how we do adjustments in F&O. It’s probably difficult for them to quantify and justify it as a set procedure…
If system is designed/instructed to deduct penalty from user’s account then definitely it’s rule based. I agree rule may change from time to time, but at least present rule/logic in place can be communicated to us to keep things transparent.
I can see above nakul replied to it, there is monthly invoice and GST is paid on that, so I guess that should be enough proof that penalty is deposited.
while taking the NRML trade position on monday at 10 am ; i was having Rs.100,000/= clear cash balance and the margin required was also Rs.100,000/= .
after the market close at 3.30 pm ; by the End of the monDAY ; the margin required was showing 110,000/= . .
So , i squared off all the position immediately on the nexday (Tuesday) morning .
my question is : do i have to bear the margin penalty on 10,000/= by the exchange and do i have to bear the interest on 10,000/= by the broker ? Or these both are borne by the Broker ? Or No party has to bear anything ?
Yes, you’ll have to pay both a margin penalty for the shortfall in margins and as you didn’t have sufficient funds in your account there will be interest charged as well.
My broker charged me the both . i.e. penalty and interest . with GST .
But . Later . After 1 week . the broker reimbursed the penalty Saying , the exchange did not charge the penalty to the client .
How is this possible ?
You can check with your broker. Margin penalty will be charged after few days by exchange, not on same day.
How is invoice a proof that the penalty is deposited with the exchange?
If i raise a invoice of 1Lakh on someone does it mean am giving it to another party?
If i raise a ticket, can I get acknowledgment for the same along with the calculations?
I have never allowed my trading account to go negative overnight. In fact I make sure I keep at least 10lakhs in the account at the end of the day. Sometimes this falls to as as low at 2 lakhs the next morning, but it has never gone negative. Now I see 23k penalty has been imposed for a particular day. If I have actually fallen short then its fine, I should be penalized. But then how do I verify?
@siva @Nakul
I would like to know how it can be confirmed that peak margin penalty has been charged by the exchange for my trading account for a particular trading day.
That is GST invoice right, believe that can’t be a fake one.
