Commodities with compulsory delivery will be closed a day before
their respective delivery intention periods. We do not allow clients for
Physical Delivery Positions. All the deliverable contracts of MCX enter
“Tender Period positions” as mentioned by exchange from time to

of the “Tender Period” of the contract. No positions will be allowed to carry
over in Tender Periods. Please note, that the contracts will be blocked for creating
a fresh position 1 day prior to the Tender period start.
Any Other Square Off
5paisa
Capital Limited may initiate square off of a particular client without prior intimation due to market volatility, debarred by SEBI
or as prescribed in any other rules or regulation.
*Intraday square off is merely a right of 5paisa and not an obligation. Intraday squaring off is an action of closing off any open position and it can be done best by the customer himself. Any intraday product which is not squared off shall be carried forward to the next trading day and will be auto-converted into a “Delivery Product”.
Note: Intimations prior to square off are merely add-on services provided as a precautionary measure by 5paisa. 5paisa holds the right to initiate risk-based square off with or without intimations.
P.S. Note: It is advisable to credit funds via UPI and IMPS for clearing the debit balance as the same is updated on a real-time basis.
