Trading margin Trading margin refers to the funds deposited by a Member into the dedicated settlement accounts of INE to ensure the fulfillment of contracts and to be used as margin for the positions held by the Member. The minimum trading margin for an EC contract is 12% of the contract value. INE sets different rates of trading margin for a futures contract based on its age from listing to last trading day.

At the primary stage after listing, if an investor holds long and short positions, margin is required for both positions instead of the larger-side position only. INE can, in view of market risks, adjust the rates of trading margin through announcements. If the trading margin for a futures contract is to be adjusted, INE will, at daily clearing on the trading day before the day on which the new trading margin rate takes effect, settle all open positions in the futures contract based on the new rate. Any Member with insufficient margin is required to meet the new margin requirement before market opens on the next trading day.
