A Daily Margin Statement is a SEBI-mandated report sent to your registered email every trading day after market close. It helps you monitor your margin status, avoid penalties, and stay trade-ready.
What does it include?
- Margin required for open positions
- Margin currently available in your account
- Any shortfall or excess margin
- Free margin available for new trades
How to read your Daily Margin Statement
The report is typically divided into these sections:
- Exchange/Segment: Indicates which market (e.g., NSE EQ, NSE F&O) the data belongs to.
- Total Margin Available: Combined margin from funds and pledged collateral.
- Total Margin Required: Margin blocked for your current open positions.
- Free Margin: Excess margin you can use for new trades.
- Shortfall/Excess: Shows whether you’re in deficit or have surplus funds for margin requirements.
Always ensure your Total Margin Available ≥ Margin Required to avoid trade restrictions.
Common mismatches and what they mean
- Margin required seems higher than expected: Check for overnight position carry-forward or leveraged instruments (like options or MTF).
- Pledged collateral not reflecting: It could be due to settlement delay or re-pledge rejection. Check Collateral Reports or Pledge status.
- Negative free margin: Indicates margin shortfall — add funds immediately to avoid penalties or order blocks.
When is it sent?
Every trading day, post-market hours, to your registered email address.
What if you're trading across multiple exchanges?
If you're active on more than one exchange—like NSE EQ and NSE F&O—you’ll receive a consolidated margin statement covering all segments.
Heads-up: Always check your margin statement before placing new trades. Margin shortfalls can block orders or trigger penalties.
What if…
| Scenario | What happens |
|---|
| You don’t receive the Daily Margin Statement | Check your spam folder and verify that your email is updated in your FYERS account. If it's still missing, contact support. |
| You trade across multiple exchanges | You’ll receive a single consolidated statement showing margin data across all active segments like NSE EQ and F&O. |
| Your account has a margin shortfall | You’ll need to add funds to meet the shortfall. Until then, you may be restricted from placing new trades or risk auto square-off. |
