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.
At FYERS, when you sell fully settled holdings (delivery shares), 100% of the sale proceeds are available for trading on the same day.
This is enabled through Early Pay-In (EPI), where shares are delivered to the exchange, allowing the sale value to be used as margin.
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).
If you sell shares that are not yet settled (T1 holdings or BTST), the proceeds are not available for trading on the same day.
At FYERS, fund availability depends on whether shares qualify for Early Pay-In (EPI) and how margin is calculated under SEBI guidelines.
| 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) |
| 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 |
