Why Is a Stock Under F&O Ban?

A stock is placed under the Futures & Options (F&O) ban by the National Stock Exchange (NSE) when the open interest in its derivative contracts exceeds 95% of the Market-Wide Position Limit (MWPL). This regulatory action is aimed at curbing excessive speculation and maintaining orderly market conditions.

During the ban period:

• No new F&O positions can be created in the stock.
• Traders are only permitted to square off or reduce their existing positions.
• Violations of these restrictions may attract financial penalties and disciplinary action by the exchange.

This mechanism is particularly crucial during high-volatility periods, such as expiry weeks, to prevent abrupt price movements and ensure market stability.
