Short delivery and price gets low on T+1 Day

@Kushal_Gupta_Love

What happened to your short sell, ? I know it will be difficult to bear the loss. If you know earlier you would not have done.

If you share your thoughts many other will benefit.

@Kushal_Gupta_Love Zerodha can’t eat any money like that. There will be an auction note that the exchanges would have sent to us. We debit based on what exchange asks us to debit.

This will expain better Short Sell Auction Penality

Don’t start blame game for your losses. Why don’t you trade in liquid stocks. There’re numerous liquid stocks.

zerodha did not provide me any note after T+4 days

There was an instance of short-delivery occuring in my account because auto-square off did not happen at Zerodha on 18-Mar-2020, when I had short sell of 6000 ZEEL shares. As per short-sell rules highlighted in your help page, the auction price is set out at MAX value of above 20% of closing price of T+1 day. The closing price on T+1 day was 141.2 so 20% above closing price would be 170. But you have charged at Rs 185 for settlement. I don’t understand why such high price is being charged from me when it was fault in Zerodha’s system. Auto-square charges of Rs 20/ was getting regularly deducted for this service only from zerodha from my account during the past few days which shows i had been a regular user of your auto-square service. So why am i unnecessarily penalized with an exorbitant liability.

Hi Himanshu,

My realization after the experience was “Short delivery” is only treated as a curse by the stock exchange and the person taking short call has liability to pay for it.
T+1 day closing price in your case would be 388.85 (391.35 is LTP), so 1.2*388.85=466.62.
Auction price most likely that would get charged upon you would be 466.62.
Did auto-squareoff not get triggered in your case.

In my case final settlement was done after about a week.

thanks,
Rajiv

Hi Rajiv,

I mistakenly sold the axis stock in large quantity, Due to upper circuit i was not able to square off and so as Zerodha RMS.
Did Zerodha gave you any breakup of charges, please share your no if possible i have 2-3 questions only.
Thanks in advance.

Sir I have had the same issue… did they explain the reason for final settlement price higher than 20% at T+1 …

@Abhinav_Peshawaria No they didn’t have a clear answer. Only thing they said its the maximum price the stock can possibly reach.
In my case, it was the max price of stock reached on Tth day.

@HimanshuMakwana Zerodha will give you a final contract note after few days for this transaction which will have the details.
I wil send you a whatsapp message on your mobile number and you can ping back your questions.

regards,
Rajiv

This is weird. I have raised the concern with them
. It should not been a short delivery at first place and now they are charging whatever they feel like.
