A little background on Peak Margin Requirement: In Dec-20, SEBI introduced a new set of guidelines for Collection & Reporting of Peak Margin – which refers to the highest margin requirement of trades done during the day. The roll-out of Peak Margin requirement was to be done in 4 stages with a gradual increase in the upfront margin required.

Phase 4 of the implementation plan begins from 01-Sep-21 whereby 100% of total applicable margin will be required as peak margin to place your orders.

Let’s see how this works out with the help of an Example:

Key Points to Remember:

1. From 01-Sep-21, 100% of total applicable margin will be required as peak margin to place your orders, across all segments including Intraday Orders.
2. To avoid margin shortage penalty, Funds Payout will be done twice during the day – once before the equity market opens & once after the equity market closes.

To avoid any interruptions in trading:

• Keep your Angel One account well-funded at all times, and/or
• Raise a Margin Pledge request for your shares lying in your Angel One Demat account
