SEBI’s New Margin Rules

SEBI’s New Margin Rules: SEBI the regulator of the Indian stock market has been concerned about the margin requirements for quite some time. What SEBI believes is that the connection of the risk that the traders are taking both Intraday and delivery basis are much higher as compared to the margins. It can be told as fun, SEBI since to change the rules more often like the movie actors change their dress. There are too many changes in the past few years.

One thing, they kept on increasing the margin. The second thing they made exposure margin compulsory and a few years before paying exposure margin was not compulsory for the clients. Third thing, for expires beyond nine months they increase the margin money almost at two types. And then the formula for converting the margin money was also kept on changing. At the end of the day all the changes point to one thing and SEBI's new margin rules discourage people with less capital, not to trading in the future and people with more capital also should do fewer trades. SEBI has been successful in doing all these things.
