<mark style="color:blue;">**Revision in Market Lot of Derivative Contracts on Indices**</mark>

This is in continuation of our earlier [communication](https://link.geojitupdates.com/v1/emailclick?q=2FCr6_yfoWR4vfUug3fTzx5.lgknO2AtWSbDM23Zi8xKXoeXyLNMB7nKOdo-IHgjKnOBfrx8VTOx5o4GK2WT0tET9_P531zjmB5YLOnzmvWvMCU.8.wHbafMEKHN76lDChCcxG_oJQX5z1hEdvXMdafsOZsdl65PTIwTvAitMsm1ZS3hDtxK6V4Sl9mtMmrmdkIhbdqerZc-ZMYPwic9.Oa6rMvyELYnIqnZ.b3ZVLjPT47zIIAs3j0-CzYr8UVQPYymEr3FT7.WwWLzKwZNW4VP6xHsZ7ho1ZHnuCDpnGeHjLP_chrsFnWZWL0R-fQ5BfI9tFZxFPjiH6jnBZ00vqgC.fSCAsVmSvy1KKitN-P2_Iw6vMjYP3uqt0HkVONsRLR0bcw4wT5xBmRJUCCXrxP4CtwrQuUvzKQ6Kq6Se1LwDm._XiX5Mlm6yBEJoIvzpFvFZKfJ.PJEIStMeTIXTjre0.qFofAUpEDxBlTYwekm46bBWTx63WjD.h.XHX02hDzINXQ47QTWKEYzcTf0IUkZPXoNUYLr8ZKGeMj12SOKbnWc9_hDky) regarding the revision in market lot sizes for index derivative contracts. &#x20;

In line with this change, certain risk management measures will be implemented for Quarterly and Half-Yearly Expiry contracts, as outlined below: &#x20;

* Please square off your positions on or before 30 December 2025 or ensure that your end-of-day (EOD) positions on 30 December 2025 are in multiples of the revised lot size.&#x20;
* Any position held after 30 December 2025 that is not in multiples of the new lot size will not be eligible for square-off, and such positions can only be exited on the contract’s expiry date.&#x20;
* Fresh position creation in these contracts will be blocked on all trading platforms from 22 December 2025. This restriction will be removed from 31 December 2025.&#x20;

We request you to plan your trades accordingly to avoid any inconvenience.&#x20;

#### <mark style="color:green;">06.Dec.2025</mark>

<mark style="color:blue;">**Levy of penalty for F\&O Ban Period**</mark>

We wish to inform you about important regulatory changes announced by SEBI and the Exchanges that will impact trading in the Equity Derivatives (F\&O) segment. These changes aim to strengthen market stability, improve transparency, and enhance overall risk management across the derivatives market.

&#x20;The Exchanges have introduced entity-level end-of-day monitoring for single-stock derivatives during the ban period. When a stock crosses 95% of its market-wide position limit (MWPL) and enters the F\&O ban list, trading in its derivatives is permitted only if the resulting position reduces open interest in its contracts by the end of the trading day.

&#x20;As per the regulations, this new MWPL computation and monitoring methodology, implemented in October 2025, will now attract penalties for violations effective **6**<sup>**th**</sup>**&#x20;December 2025**. Hence, we advise you to carefully monitor positions in stocks under the ban period to avoid penalties.

We encourage you to review your positions regularly and plan trades carefully in accordance with the updated regulatory framework. These measures aim to promote safer and more efficient participation in the derivatives market.

&#x20;For detailed information on the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for monitoring MWPL during the ban period, entity level position monitoring during ban periods, and various violation scenarios, please refer the links attached.

<mark style="color:blue;">**Important Updates on Direct Payout of Securities & Margin Trading Facility (MTF)**</mark>

The recent updates from SEBI/Stock Exchanges regarding the direct payout of securities to clients’ demat accounts and changes related to the Margin Trading Facility (MTF), aimed at enhancing operational efficiency and reducing risk, will take effect from **25 February 2025**.

**Key Updates:**

**Direct Payout of Securities**

* Exchanges/Clearing Corporations will credit securities directly to your demat account on the settlement date.
* You can sell shares on T+1 in normal settlement scenarios. However, selling shares purchased on the previous day will not be possible on settlement holidays.
* The direct payout of securities by Exchanges/Clearing Corporations will commence from 25 February 2025 (for trades executed on 24 February 2025).
* To mitigate any settlement delays on the first day of the new payout system (25 February 2025), we will temporarily restrict the selling of shares purchased on 24 February 2025.
* Going forward, to prevent shares from being lien marked in your account as unpaid securities in favour of **Client Unpaid Securities Pledge Account** (CUSPA—a designated account for holding unpaid securities), and to avoid the associated depository charges, please ensure a clear credit by 8 AM on the settlement day.
* If payments are not received in time, these shares will be marked as Unpaid securities in your account.  On receiving payment, the unpaid securities will be released and available as free balance in your account.
* In case of a **security shortage**, the Exchange will identify the shortfall and conduct **auctions** accordingly.

**Margin Trading Facility (MTF) Updates**

* **Discontinuation of OTP-Based Authentication:** From 24 February 2025, OTP-based authorization for MTF pledge will no longer be required. Pledges will be processed directly by the Exchanges based on intimation from the stockbroker.

#### <mark style="color:blue;">Transfer of Shares to IEPF account in case of unclaimed dividends</mark>

The dividends declared by companies whose shares you own are transferred directly to your bank account linked to your Demat account by the Registrar and Share Transfer Agent (RTA). It is important to ensure that your bank account details are accurate and up to date, as any discrepancies can result in the dividend not being credited to your account.

In accordance with the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF) (Accounting, Audit, Transfer, and Refund) Rules of 2016, any shares held by shareholders who have not claimed dividends for a consecutive period of seven years or more are mandated to be transferred to the Demat account of the IEPF Authority. This transfer ensures compliance with the regulations and safeguards the interests of investors.

To access the bank details associated with your Demat account, kindly visit [https://my.geojit.com](https://my.geojit.com/) and log in using your unique login ID and password. Once logged in, navigate to the User Profile section and click on "Depository Bank Account Details" to view the registered bank information.\
\
We request you to ensure the following to avoid the transfer of shares from your Demat account to the IEPF Authority

* Core banking account number, IFSC, and MICR of your bank account are updated in your Demat account.
* For all the shares held by you (Demat/physical), declared dividends are received in your Bank Account.

Additionally, it is important to be aware that if your shares have already been transferred to the IEPF Authority and you wish to claim them or the associated dividends, a distinct application must be submitted to the authority using Form IEPF-5, as specified in the IEPF Rules. You can find the required form on the official website of the IEPF Authority at [www.iepf.gov.in](http://www.iepf.gov.in/).

Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), permitted the stock exchanges to introduce T +1 settlement cycle from 1 January 2022 on the securities available in the equity segment.&#x20;

Regarding this matter, the Stock Exchanges, Clearing Corporations, and Depositories have completed the plan for executing the T+1 settlement cycle, which is outlined below:

* The T +1 settlement cycle will be implemented in a phased manner. The T +1 settlement cycle of first list of securities starting with the bottom 100 stocks by market capitalization will start from 25 February 2022.
* The next bottom 500 stocks by market capitalization will be included in T+1 settlement on the last Friday (trade day) of every month from March 2022.
* Any new stock listed after October 2021, will be added to list based on the market capitalization calculated based on average trading price of 30 days after commencement of trading.
* Securities such as preference shares, warrants, right entitlements, partly paid shares and securities issued under differential voting rights (DVR) will be transitioned to T+1 settlement along with the stock of parent company.

Considering the aforementioned alterations, we kindly ask that you take note of the following: -

* MTF marking cut off on T+1 will be 12:00 PM.

### <mark style="color:blue;">**Repledging is allowed only against Exchange approved Securities**</mark>

The clearing corporation has established guidelines for collateral allocation, which permit the repledging of securities exclusively for exchange-approved securities in accordance with a list that will be periodically released by the exchange. Please refer the [SEBI ](https://www.sebi.gov.in/web/?file=/sebi_data/attachdocs/jul-2021/1626778249298.pdf#page=1\&zoom=page-width,-16,792)Circular.
