6 New SEBI Rules For F&O Trading | Must-Know Changes for Futures and Options Traders

SEBI has introduced 6 new rules that will significantly impact F&O (Futures and Options) trading. These changes aim to regulate and streamline the market, impacting traders in various ways. Here’s a quick breakdown of the new rules:

-Increased Contract Size: The minimum contract size for index derivatives has increased from ₹5 lakh to ₹15-20 lakh. For example, the Nifty 50 lot size will increase from 25 to 50-75.

-Upfront Option Premiums: Starting 1st February 2025, brokers will be required to collect option premiums upfront from option buyers.

-No More Daily/Weekly Expiries: Exchanges like BSE and NSE must choose one benchmark index derivative for weekly expiry contracts. For example, BSE might select Sensex or Bankex, and NSE will choose between Nifty, Bank Nifty, or FinNifty.

-Calendar Spread Removal: This option strategy, where traders buy/sell contracts of the same strike price but different expiries, will no longer be available, forcing traders to roll over early rather than waiting for expiry day.

-Intraday Monitoring of Position Limits: From April 1, 2025, exchanges will monitor position limits for equity index derivatives on an intraday basis.

-Additional Margin on Expiry Day: To control excessive speculative activities, SEBI has imposed an additional 2% extreme loss margin on short options contracts on expiry day.
