Note:

  1. Any F&O credits (i.e. premium from options sold, marked-to-market profit, intraday profits, etc.) and intraday equity profits from January 31st will not be included in the available funds during the special trading session due to the settlement holiday. However, you will be able to check these credits on your Console ledger.
  2. Cover Orders (CO) will not be allowed.
  3. Based on market volatility, leverage on intraday products (MIS) can be reduced/removed during the day at the discretion of our risk management team. Check the latest intraday leverages here.

Best practices to ensure a smooth special trading session:

  1. If you use CDSL T-PIN, ensure that you pre-authorise your holdings before the session opens on Saturday. Alternatively, you can enable DDPI to avoid using CDSL T-PIN. To learn how to enable DDPI, click here.
  2. Ensure sufficient funds are transferred to your trading account before the special session, as high UPI transaction volumes are expected, which could potentially lead to delays in fund transfer.
