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.
What if…
| Scenario | Outcome |
|---|
| I sell a non-BTST eligible stock on T+1 | It could lead to short delivery and auction penalty. |
| I sell BTST-eligible stock on T+1 | Full proceeds are credited on the next day. |
| I want to use the funds from BTST sell | The amount becomes usable on the trading day after the T+1 sale. |
