Why Is a Stock Placed Under the F&O Ban?
A stock is included in the F&O ban list when the open interest (OI) in its derivative contracts exceeds 95% of the Market-Wide Position Limit (MWPL).
The objective is to curb excessive speculative activity and maintain orderly market conditions.
During the Ban
- No fresh Futures or Options positions can be created.
- Traders are permitted only to:
- Square off existing positions, or
- Reduce open positions.
- The stock continues to trade normally in the cash market.
- Any violation of the ban rules may attract penalties from the exchange.
What Is the Market-Wide Position Limit (MWPL)?
The MWPL represents the maximum number of derivative contracts that market participants can collectively hold in a stock.
Once aggregate open interest crosses 95% of this limit, the stock is placed under the F&O ban until open interest falls below the prescribed threshold.
