What is 5Paisa's policy on the physical settlement of equity derivatives on expiry?

·        Yes, physical settlement can occur without cash, but LiquidBees are pledged. The entire margin can come from LiquidBees as they are considered cash equivalent. This margin cannot be used to settle your losses or charges from the trade. 

·        Moreover, the physical settlement of open F&O stock positions can be physically settled to demat accounts.


·        Note: Traders should review the terms and conditions for specific guidance on how pledged assets are treated in the event of option exercise and settlement.
