What Happens to Open Positions When I Request to Freeze My FYERS Account?

What Happens if I Have Open Positions When I Request to Freeze My FYERS Account?

You cannot voluntarily freeze your FYERS trading account if you have open positions. Freezing is only allowed after all positions are closed.

However, if FYERS is required to freeze your account based on regulatory directives from SEBI, the stock exchange, or a depository, the following process applies.

Self-Freeze Not Allowed With Open Positions

  • You will not be able to freeze your account manually through the FYERS platform if you have open positions.
  • You must close all positions before your freeze request can be processed.

Freezing as per Intimation From Exchange, Depository, or SEBI

  • You’ll Be Notified First: FYERS will notify you to close all open positions within a given timeframe.
  • If You Don’t Close the Positions:
    • The Risk Management (RMS) team will monitor your account
    • RMS may square off your open positions
    • Once cleared, FYERS will proceed to freeze the account as required
If you do not act on FYERS’ freeze intimation, your open positions may be forcibly closed by the Risk team, and the account will be frozen without further notice.

To understand what happens to any unexecuted or pending orders during a freeze, refer to this article.
