BSE identifies specific securities for inclusion under Short-Term Additional Surveillance Measure (ST-ASM) Stage I and Stage II. Trading members must apply a 50 percent margin rate for Stage I securities. Trading members must apply a 100 percent margin rate for Stage II securities. These margin requirements apply to all open positions as of August 13, 2026, and all new positions created from August 14, 2026. The maximum margin rate is 100 percent. This surveillance measure operates alongside other existing exchange surveillance measures. The inclusion of securities in the ST-ASM framework results from market surveillance and does not constitute adverse action against the listed entities.
