F&O ban list:The National Stock Exchange (NSE) banned trading in seven stocks on Monday, October 7, in the futures and options (F&O) segment as they exceeded 95% of the market-wide position limit (MWPL).
However, these stocks will be available for trading in the cash market. The NSE updates the list of securities in the F&O ban for trade every day.
Bandhan Bank, Birlasoft, GNFC, Granules India, Hindustan Copper, Manappuram Finance, and RBL Bank are the seven stocks on the NSE's F&O ban list on October 7.
The NSE said the derivative contracts in these securities crossed 95% of the market-wide position limit and have been placed in the stock exchange's ban period.
“All clients/members shall trade in the derivative contracts of said security only to decrease their positions through offsetting positions. Any increase in open positions shall attract appropriate penal and disciplinary action,” the NSE statement said.
No new positions are allowed when the stock exchanges place F&O contracts in a particular stock in the ban period.
