• Further, in respect of the sale of shares by a client for which an early pay-in (EPI) request via the Block mechanism has been accepted by depositories and credit entry is posted of the sale value of the shares in the ledger account of the client, EPI value may be considered as margin collected towards subsequent margin requirement of the client. However, the sale value of such securities (EPI value), as reduced by the value of the 20% upfront Margin, shall be available as Margin for other positions across all the segments.
