The National Stock Exchange of India Limited identifies specific securities for inclusion under the Short-Term Additional Surveillance Measure (ST-ASM) Stage I and Stage II. Members must apply a 50 percent margin rate for Stage I securities. 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 measure operates alongside other existing surveillance measures. The inclusion of securities in the ST-ASM framework results from market surveillance and does not represent an adverse action against the affected entities.
What you must do
- Apply a 50 percent margin rate or existing margin, whichever is higher, for Stage I securities.
- Apply a 100 percent margin rate or existing margin, whichever is higher, for Stage II securities.
