SEBI announces measures to tighten F&O trading
The Free Press Journal|October 02, 2024
As retail investors are increasingly incurring losses in equity index derivatives (F&O) trade, SEBI on Tuesday put in place as many as six measures to strengthen the derivatives framework, including raising minimum contract size.

The current stipulation is for such contracts to have a value between Rs 5 lakh and Rs 10 lakh. This limit was last set in 2015. Since then, broad market values and prices have increased by around three times.

“Given this, it has been decided that a derivative contract shall have a value not less than Rs 15 lakhs at the time of its introduction in the market,” SEBI said.
