Is BTST available, and how are funds blocked?

Yes, FYERS offers the BTST (Buy Today, Sell Tomorrow) facility, allowing clients to sell shares on T+1 day, even before they are credited to the Demat account. However, BTST is only enabled for a limited list of eligible stocks and series.

Eligibility & FYERS specifics

  • BTST is allowed only for stocks approved by the Risk Management System (RMS).
  • It is not universally available for all stocks—certain series and scrips are excluded.
  • You can check the eligible list in this support article.

Settlement & funds blocking

  • If you sell BTST-eligible shares on T+1, 100% of the sale proceeds are released and available for use on the next trading day.
  • There is no additional margin or blocking of funds for the BTST trade itself, apart from standard settlement obligations.

Tip: Always verify BTST eligibility before selling on T+1 to avoid short delivery risks.
