Limits is the amount set aside for trading from the bank account and the amount realised from the sale of shares in cash segment after deducting the amount of purchases in cash segment. The limit increases/decreases once the registered user allocates funds for trading using the "Modify Allocations" screen. In case of shares sold in Cash segment , the limit increases by the amount receivable and for buy orders in cash segment the appropriate amount will be deducted and hence the limits will be reduced by such an amount. All calculations are executed automatically. However, it is important to specify the exchange and settlement cycle to access the limits. Limits are appropriately reduced by the applicable margin percentage on the order value while placing the orders in the margin segment. Once the margin position is squared off, the margin amount blocked thereon is released after giving effect to the profit or loss booked on such square off. On clicking Modify Allocations you can allocate funds from the available clear bank balance for trading. Similarly, the amount can also be reduced. Please note that on bank holidays and on weekly off days this facility is not available.
