Stock Under F&O Ban on Nifty's Weekly Expiry Day 

Ahead of the Nifty's weekly expiry on March 2, 2026, the National Stock Exchange (NSE) has placed Sammaan Capital under the Futures and Options (F&O) trading ban: 

This restriction is enforced when the open interest in the stock crosses 95% of the market-wide position limit (MWPL). While fresh derivative positions are disallowed, the stock continues to be available for trading in the cash market. 

The stock under the F&O ban for March 2, 2026, is: 

Sammaan Capital 

On February 27, 2026, Sammaan Capital Share (NSE:SAMMAANCAP) closed at ₹149.91, down by 2.45% from its previous close of ₹153.67. During the day, Sammaan Capital shares traded between high and low of ₹154.90 and ₹149.00, respectively. 

Why Is a Stock Under F&O Ban? 

A stock enters the Futures & Options (F&O) ban list on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) when the open interest in its derivative contracts crosses 95% of the Market-Wide Position Limit (MWPL). This measure is designed to control excessive speculation and ensure smooth market functioning. 

During the ban: 

• No new F&O positions can be initiated in that stock.
• Traders may only square off or reduce existing positions.
• Any breach of these rules can lead to penalties and disciplinary action by the exchange. 

This mechanism is especially important during periods of high volatility—such as contract expiry weeks—to prevent sharp price swings and maintain market stability.
