FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is SPAN margin?+

SPAN (Standard Portfolio Analysis of Risk) is the minimum margin set by NSE based on worst-case loss scenarios for your position. It is the core margin requirement.

What is Exposure margin?+

Exposure margin is an additional buffer margin charged over SPAN by NSE to cover adverse market movements. Together, SPAN + Exposure = total margin required for NRML positions.

What is MIS margin?+

MIS (Margin Intraday Square-off) is a reduced margin product offered by brokers for intraday trades. Positions must be squared off before 3:20 PM or the broker will auto-square them.

Do margins change daily?+

Yes — NSE revises margins daily (especially during volatile events like earnings or budget). Always check your broker's margin calculator for the live figure.
