Scripwise Margin Percentage in NSE

Scripwise Margin Percentages feature provides you information on Initial Margin Percentage that will be blocked once you take NSE F&O position in the underlying scrip.

What does Scrip Margins indicate?
Let's take an example. Let's suppose you wish to buy a Futures contract for ACC and wish to know how much amount will be blocked from your account initially.

Now, when you browse the given table, you will find the exposure percentage for ACC is 17%. Assuming the lot size as 100 and current LTP as 6000, the initial margin would be:

Initial Margin = (Lot Size * LTP) * (Initial Margin)

=> (100*6000) * 17% = 102000.

Thus, the initial margin that will be blocked is 102000 Rs. (Brokerage charges ignored).
