What is the Tender Period?

The Tender Period is the timeframe just before a commodity contract expires, during which traders must decide how they wish to settle—either through delivery or by closing out their positions.
Important Note:
At 5Paisa, physical settlement is not supported for commodity contracts. Therefore, traders are notified in advance about the deadline to square off their positions.
If a trader fails to close their position within the specified timeframe, 5Paisa will automatically square off the position to avoid physical delivery obligations.
