Hi @Anand

Here’s how the margin requirement typically progresses as we approach expiry:

- E-4 Day (4 days before expiry): 10% of the full delivery value

- E-3 Day: 25% of the full delivery value

- E-2 Day: 45% of the full delivery value

- E-1 Day (1 day before expiry): 70% of the full delivery value

- Expiry Day (E): 100% of the full delivery value must be maintained in your F&O allocation
