When you sell shares from your Demat holdings, the sale proceeds are credited to your account on the same trading day. However, how much of this amount is available for immediate trading depends on the type of transaction and applicable exchange regulations.
At FYERS, we follow SEBI and exchange guidelines to ensure faster access to funds while maintaining compliance with margin rules.
100% Sale Proceeds Available for Trading
At FYERS, when you sell fully settled holdings (delivery shares), 100% of the sale proceeds are available for trading on the same day.
Example
- You sell shares worth ₹50,000
- The full ₹50,000 is credited on the same day
You can immediately:
- Buy other stocks
- Trade in F&O
This is enabled through Early Pay-In (EPI), where shares are delivered to the exchange, allowing the sale value to be used as margin.
Repurchasing the Same Stock on the Same Day
If you sell a stock and then buy the same stock again on the same day, only 75% of the sale proceeds will be available immediately. The remaining 25% is released on T+1 (next trading day).
Example
- You sell shares worth ₹40,000
- You buy the same stock again
- ₹30,000 (75%) is available immediately
- ₹10,000 (25%) is released on T+1
T1 Holdings (BTST Transactions)
If you sell shares that are not yet settled (T1 holdings or BTST), the proceeds are not available for trading on the same day.
Example
- You bought shares yesterday
- You sell them today before settlement
- The proceeds are credited
- But can only be used on T+1
Why does this happen?
At FYERS, fund availability depends on whether shares qualify for Early Pay-In (EPI) and how margin is calculated under SEBI guidelines.
- Settled holdings: Full margin benefit (100% usable)
- Same stock re-buy: Partial restriction (75%)
- T1 holdings: No same-day margin benefit
Quick Summary
| Scenario | Same-Day Usable Amount |
|---|
| Sell settled delivery holdings | 100% |
| Sell and buy same stock | 75% (25% on T+1) |
| Sell T1 / BTST holdings | 0% (available on T+1) |
Important: Even though sale proceeds are credited on the same day, usage may be restricted based on the transaction type and exchange margin rules.
Note for NRI clients: Same-day sale proceeds are not available for reuse for your account. Funds can be used only after settlement (T+1), as per regulatory guidelines.
Tip: If you plan to re-enter the same stock on the same day, ensure you account for the 25% restriction to avoid order rejection due to insufficient funds.
What If...
| Scenario | Outcome |
|---|
| I sell shares and buy a different stock | You can use 100% of the sale proceeds |
| I sell and buy the same stock again | Only 75% is available immediately; 25% is released on T+1 |
| I sell BTST (T1) shares | Funds are available only on T+1 |
| I am an NRI client | Same-day reuse is not allowed; funds are available only after settlement (T+1) |
| I see less margin than expected | This may be due to same-stock re-buy or unsettled holdings |
| I want to understand the regulation | Refer to the official exchange circular: NSE Guidelines on Margin Collection |
