Which Commodity contracts are allowed to trade at 5paisa and can I take physical delivery of commodities?

At 5paisa, clients have the opportunity to trade in a variety of commodity contracts, including current, near, and next month contracts. These contracts provide flexibility for investors to engage in commodity trading across different timeframes.

While trading is permitted across current, near, and next month contracts, it's important to note that exposure is only provided for current month contracts. This limitation ensures that trading activities remain within predefined risk parameters and align with prudent risk management practices.

Unlike some platforms, 5paisa does not facilitate physical delivery of commodities to its clients. Consequently, traders are advised to close their open positions prior to the commencement of the delivery period to avoid any complications or obligations associated with physical delivery.

Note: 5paisa does not support Bracket Order and Cover Order functionalities in the commodity segment.
