The Constituent hereby authorises Abhipra to dishonour any orders issued against the blocked security.

In case any outstanding position remains, Abhipra will square off the same at the prevailing market price. In case the square off cannot be done, the Trading account will get shifted to Investment account of the Constituent.

II.vi Margins


(a)The Constituent shall maintain such quantity of securities and such amount of cash credit balances (hereinafter referred to as the “Margin”) as required by the applicable statutes, rules, regulations, procedures or as deemed necessary or advisable by Abhipra, provided that the Margin shall not at any time be less than [20%] of the price of the Admitted Securities proposed to be purchased or sold. The Constituent agrees that no interest shall be payable on the Margin as maintained with Abhipra. The Constituent shall be permitted to trade upto a pre-determined number of times of the Margin and the quantum of such multiple shall be determined at the sole discretion of Abhipra.


(b)The margin requirement and squaring up process for offline and online trading is different. The margin in online account will not be considered in the offline account and vice-versa unless specifically directed by Constituent. The accounting process for both accounts is different and is independent of each other.


(c)In case there is any change in policy relating to Risk Management pertaining to margin requirement and squaring up process the same would be reflected in the website http://www.abhipra.com and/or at the registered office and Branches of Abhipra and the onus is on the Constituent to keep check, understand, and agree with the Risk Management policy pertaining to margin requirement and squaring up process from time to time.


(d)The Constituent shall also remain in touch with Abhipra to keep a regular check on his account and margin requirements, for maintaining sufficient margin with Abhipra to undertake any transaction in his a/c in off line and online trading. If Abhipra considers it necessary for its own protection, it may require the Constituent to immediately on demand deposit cash or securities to their account prior to any applicable settlement date in order to assure due performance of their open contractual commitments. If Constituent does not provide such additional cash or securities, the Constituent hereby grants to Abhipra the right to sell any or all securities extant in their account, buy any or all relevant securities which may be short in their account, cancel any or all open orders and/or close any or all outstanding contracts. The constituent agrees and made aware that in case intra day loss is such that margin position goes down, Abhipra can sell any or all securities in the account without giving notice to the constituent as it/he/she is also required to keep track on its/his/her margin position Abhipra may do the square off/selling at any time during the day in account.


(e)In addition, Constituent acknowledges and agrees that Abhipra may exercise any or all of the above rights, prior to or without any demand, for additional cash or securities, or notice of sale or purchase, or other notice or intimation. Any such sales or purchases may be made at any time at the sole discretion of Abhipra on any market where such business is usually transacted, or at public auction or private sale, or Abhipra may purchase/sell for its own account. The making/giving of any prior demand or call or notice of the time and place of such sale or purchase shall not be considered as a waiver of any rights of Abhipra to sell or buy without any such demand, call or notice, at that time or at any time subsequently.


(f)In addition to the above, if the Constituent does not credit its cash or securities account as maintained with Abhipra, to make up any shortfall in the Margin, instantaneously, to enable restoration of the Margin in Constituent's account, the position of the Constituent may be squared off by Abhipra, without any further reference to the Constituent and without prior notification, and any resultant or associated losses that may occur due to such squaring off shall be borne by the Constituent, and Abhipra is hereby fully indemnified and held harmless by the Constituent in this behalf. In case where the payment by the Constituent towards the Margin is made through a cheque issued in favour of Abhipra, any trade would be executed by Abhipra only upon the realisation of the funds of the said cheque.


(g)The constituent confirms that he/she/it has understood the risks involved in trading securities on margin and fully agrees to abide by the procedures and policies of Abhipra which are listed below: -

-The constituent can lose more funds than the deposit in his/her/its account. The decline in value of securities that are purchased on margin may require the constituent to provide additional funds to Abhipra to avoid the forced sale of those securities or other securities or assets in constituent's account(s).
Abhipra can force the sale of the constituent's securities or other assets in the constituent account(s). If the equity in constituent account falls below the margin requirements, Abhipra can sell the securities held with it to cover margin deficiency. The Constituent will be responsible for the shortfall, if any, in the account even after such a sale.

Abhipra can sell constituent's securities or other securities without contacting him/her/it. Some Constituents mistakenly believe that Abhipra must contact them for margin call to be valid, and that Abhipra cannot liquidate the securities or other assets in their accounts to meet the call unless Abhipra has contacted them first. This is not the case. Abhipra will attempt to notify the constituents of margin calls, but it is not required to do so. However even if Abhipra has contacted the constituent and provided a specific date by which the constituent can meet a margin call, Abhipra can still take necessary steps to protect its financial aspects, including immediately selling the securities without notice to the constituent.
The constituent is not entitled to choose which securities or other assets in his/her/it's account(s) are liquidated or sold to meet a margin call. Because the securities are collateral for margin loan, Abhipra has the right to decide which securities to sell in order to protect its interests.

Abhipra can increase its margin requirements at any time and is not required to provide the constituent with advance written notice. These changes in Abhipra's policy often take effect immediately and may result in issuance of margin call. Constituent's failure to satisfy the call may cause Abhipra to liquidate or sell securities in Constituent's account (s).

The constituent is not entitled to an extension of time on a margin call. While an extension of time to meet margin requirements may be available to constituents under certain conditions, a constituent does not have a right to the extension


(h) Margins in Derivatives Trading:
In the Derivatives segment, the Constituent is liable to pay an initial margin up-front on or before creating a position such margin shall be decided upon by Abhipra or the Exchange from time to time. Furthermore, the Constituent is liable to pay (or receive) Daily margins depending on whether the price of the Derivatives contract moves for or against the position undertaken. The Constituent may also be liable to pay with holding margins, special margins or such other margins as considered necessary by Abhipra or the Exchange from time to time. Abhipra is permitted in its sole and absolute discretion to collect additional margins (even though not imposed by the Derivatives segment, the Clearing House or SEBI) and the Constituent shall be obliged to pay such margins.


(i) Mark to Market Margins in Derivatives: For Derivatives contracts, the Constituent agrees that Abhipra shall raise bills on weekly basis. The Constituent also agrees to pay an up-front margin at the beginning of each week that will be sufficient to cover the daily margins for the entire duration of the week. If at any time during the week, the cumulative Mark to Market (MTM) margin falls short Margin available in the Constituent's account, the Constituent agrees to heed Abhipra's additional Margin calls. As the up-front weekly margin calls are purely for operational convenience, the Constituent will ensure that the Margins are adequate at all times and will immediately make good any short fall that Abhipra may communicate.

(j) Payment by Constituent through Cheque: In case where the payment by the Constituent towards the Margin is made through a cheque issued in favor of Abhipra, the said cheque will be credited to the Constituent's account only after realisation of funds in Abhipra's bank account.

(k) Margin in form of Securities: The Constituent may place margin with Abhipra in form of securities as approved by Abhipra. Such securities may, at the discretion of Abhipra, be marked under lien in favor of Abhipra from the Depository Account of the Constituent or such securities may be placed in a separate Depository account titled 'Abhipra Capital Limited.' to be earmarked as margin from the Constituent. The Constituent agrees and authorizes Abhipra to determine the market value of securities placed as margin after applying a haircut that Abhipra deems appropriate. The Constituent's securities are valued at the latest market price available (' Marked to Market') on a continuous basis by Abhipra. The Constituent undertakes to monitor the adequacy of the collateral and the market value of such securities on a continuous basis. If due to price fluctuations, there is erosion in the value of margins, the Constituent agrees to replenish any short fall in the value of Margins immediately, whether or not Abhipra intimates such shortfall.


(l) Type of Margin :

Abhipra may at its sole discretion prescribe the payment of margin in the form of cash instead of securities. The Constituent accepts to comply with Abhipra's requirement of payment of margin in the form of cash failing which Abhipra may sell, dispose, transfer or deal in any other manner the securities already placed with it as margin or square off all or some of the positions of the Constituent as it deems fit in its discretion without further reference to the Constituent and any resultant or associated losses that may accrue due to such square off/ sale shall be borne by the Constituent, and Abhipra is hereby fully indemnified and harmless by the Constituent in this behalf.

(m) Margin Merging: The constituent agrees and empowers/authorize Abhipra to act at its discretion of merging balances kept under various accounts held with Abhipra such as Online Trading Account, NSDL (or CDSL) DP Account, CM Trading Account and F&O Trading Account etc., to nullify the debit in any other account of the Constituent held with M/s Abhipra Capital Limited without taking any further instructions from the Constituent. Similarly the constituent agrees and empowers/authorize Abhipra to merge the securities kept with Abhipra in various accounts in order to nullify the debit in any account of the constituent.

(n) The constituent hereby authorize Abhipra to change or alter the list of Securities on which margin trading is allowed.

(o) Abhipra will pass to the constituent whatever corporate benefits are received from the companies directly like dividends and bonus shares. For other corporate benefits/actions like Rights issues/Open offers etc. where shareholders are required to apply to the company, it is the constituent's responsibility to track announcements of such corporate benefits and then apply to the company if constituent so desires. Abhipra shall not be liable for any real/notional loss suffered by the constituent, if constituent fails to apply for such corporate benefits in time for the shares held by Abhipra on behalf of the constituent. In some cases, Abhipra at the constituent request may apply on behalf of the constituent for a Rights issue/Open Offer for the shares held by Abhipra on behalf of constituent. Abhipra shall not be liable for any loss/claim whatsoever in case such application is rejected by the Registrar/Company/manager to the issue for any reason.
