What is staggered delivery in MCX?

The staggered delivery in MCX is the period that begins a few working days before the expiry of any contract and ends with an expiry, during which sellers/buyers having open positions may submit an intention to give/take delivery.
5paisa's Policy: While the staggered delivery concept is prevalent in MCX (Multi Commodity Exchange), 5paisa does not allow clients to give/take delivery in commodities.
Client Obligations: Clients holding open positions in commodities must close their positions within the stipulated deadline provided by 5paisa before the contract expiry date.
Risk Management Measures: In cases where clients fail to close their open positions before the stipulated deadline, 5paisa's Risk Management System (RMS) will automatically square off the client's open positions to mitigate any potential risks associated with delivery obligations.
By adhering to these policies and timelines, clients can ensure compliance with exchange regulations and avoid unintended consequences related to delivery obligations in commodity trading.
