Well, you have answered the question yourself. You require to have entire NRML margin in order to enter a carry-forward futures position and this margin will be blocked until you square-off your position. Once your position is closed, the margin will be released back into your account.
Use the F&O span calculator to calculate the required NRML margin for any future carry-forward trade.
But surely one can get benefited using spread positions when you hedge your positions so margin requirements reduces somewhat.
