Why Is a Stock Under F&O Ban?

A stock is placed under the Futures & Options (F&O) ban list when its open interest surpasses 95% of the Market-Wide Position Limit (MWPL), in accordance with NSE regulations.

• Creation of new F&O positions is strictly prohibited.
• Traders are only allowed to square off or reduce their existing positions.
• Violations of these restrictions can lead to monetary penalties or other disciplinary actions.

This regulatory measure is designed to discourage excessive speculation and maintain market stability, especially during periods of heightened activity, such as expiry sessions.
