Securities in Annexure I now attract a minimum 100% margin requirement. These securities move from the Rolling Settlement segment to the Trade-for-Trade segment effective August 21, 2026. Securities in Annexure II exit the framework. Securities shifting to Stage II move to the Trade-for-Trade segment with a 2% price band under Periodic Call Auction effective August 20, 2026.
