What is the max quantity to buy/sell in single shot in banknifty options

For BANKNIFTY the limit is 5000 in single order.

Market Lot size is 25, so in single shot you can buy 5000/25 = 200 lots

The maximum limit in a single order is called quantity freeze limit.

This is applied for all F&O contracts to ensure there is no wrong entry while entering positions.
