When trading through the Margin Trading Facility (MTF) or Futures & Options (F&O) segment, investors are required to maintain the prescribed margin at all times. If the available margin falls below the required level, the investor may be required to deposit additional funds or pledge eligible securities to cover the margin shortfall.

Until the shortfall is rectified, the broker may restrict the investor from taking any new trading positions. In the event the margin deficiency is not addressed within the stipulated timeframe, the broker may liquidate shares or square off open F&O positions to recover the outstanding amount and manage risk exposure.
