Provisional margin shortfall for F&O positions

I read this entire thread. I so strongly felt that in the early part of the thread, some 2-3yrs old conversations, they were truly fantastic customer support. Like wow kind of responses with great clarity and honesty. And the recent responses, to put it very politely, are suboptimal. Such a drastic change! I wonder why this has happened?

Hi Abhishek,
We refer to it as a provisional margin penalty because the values may change under certain circumstances. For example, the exchange may revise the margin files, resulting in changes to the required margin values or if exchange VAR/rates are unavailable at the time of sending the emails, the collateral value may change during final reporting.
There are several such factors that can impact these figures. Therefore, as a precaution, we classify it as a provisional shortfall. However, in most cases, it is likely to remain the final shortfall if no revisions occur.
