What is Delivery Margin on Physical Settlement?

The stocks that have been identified for physical settlement would attract the delivery margin as is currently being done in the Capital market segment. These margins will be part of the initial margin that would be additionally collected by the clearing member.

In case of ITM long options (put and call), the delivery margin would be levied 4 days before the expiry day i.e. preceding Friday of the expiry week.

The delivery margin would be released once the physical settlement process is completed.
Note: There would be no assignment margins for the assigned option stocks identified for physical settlement.
