These are aimed at protecting retail traders and ensuring market stability. It will cover everything from position limits and lot sizes to risk monitoring and margin norms. Through this blog we will break down these <strong>new SEBI rules for F&amp;O<\/strong> and explain how they impact retail traders in detail. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-deeb5293ac3e9bdd75b9500282e1ac69\" id=\"1-future-equivalent-open-interest\" style=\"color:#023368\">1. Future Equivalent Open Interest&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>According to SEBI\u2019s circular, open interest (OI) will now be measured using Future Equivalent (FutEq) OI or delta-based OI instead of the older notional OI method. Earlier, notional OI just added up all futures and options contracts, without looking at the actual risk involved. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Delta-based OI gives a more accurate picture of real market exposure. And FutEq OI calculates total open positions by considering the delta of each trade rather than counting contracts. It helps avoid situations where a stock is unfairly placed under the F&amp;O ban due to inflated notional OI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-673544328087cfc3ce8d665dd2f13e2e\" id=\"2-mwpl-now-tied-to-free-float-and-trading-volumes\" style=\"color:#023368\">2. MWPL Now Tied to Free Float and Trading Volumes&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Market-Wide Position Limit (MWPL) to Be Based on Free Float and <a href=\"https:\/\/navia.co.in\/blog\/category\/trading\/\">Trading<\/a> Volume. SEBI updated how the Market-Wide Position Limit (MWPL) \u2014 the maximum number of contracts allowed for trading in a stock \u2014 is calculated. Now, MWPL will be the lower of two things:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83e\udc16 15% of the stock\u2019s free float, or&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83e\udc16 65 times the average daily cash market volume across all exchanges&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This change means the limit will now depend more on how much of the stock is available to trade and how actively it&#8217;s traded in the cash market. According to SEBI, linking MWPL to real trading activity will reduce chances of price manipulation and better match the risk in derivatives to the actual liquidity in the cash market. This new rule will take effect from October 1, 2025.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/navia.co.in\/app.html\" style=\"background-color:#ec4d37\"><strong>Get Navia APP<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-dfae768e5868c89460a8cf5636774d59\" id=\"3-rules-for-taking-positions-in-single-stocks-under-ban-period\" style=\"color:#023368\">3. Rules for Taking Positions in Single Stocks Under Ban Period&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if a stock is under ban, SEBI will allow trade, but only if they help reduce the trader\u2019s overall risk. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if your net position (delta) is +10 or -10 at the end of Day 1, it should be brought closer to zero by the end of Day 2. Simply changing the position from positive to negative (or vice versa) won\u2019t count as reducing risk. Also, if your exposure increases passively due to price movement (not because of new trades), it won\u2019t be considered a violation. These new rules will apply from October 1, 2025.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-a1afd01a1416e06969778ca823396466\" id=\"4-real-time-monitoring-of-mwpl-usage-for-individual-stocks\" style=\"color:#023368\">4. Real-Time Monitoring of MWPL Usage for Individual Stocks&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>SEBI has said that clearing corporations will check open positions (FutEq OI) at least four random times during the trading day. If traders go beyond the allowed limits, exchanges can take steps like adding extra margin requirements or running stricter surveillance. Any breaches must be reported to SEBI every two weeks. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, exchanges will show live updates of how much of the trading limit is being used. A standard procedure for this process will be created by exchanges along with SEBI, and it will start on November 3, 2025.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-4ecd48e472df3f97c629a44698463341\" id=\"5-increased-trading-limits-for-index-futures-and-options\" style=\"color:#023368\">5. Increased Trading Limits for Index Futures and Options&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>SEBI\u2019s new circular says that from July 1, 2025, onwards there will be new position limits for index-based options and futures trading.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-252bad67837d7211cbfb8ee2e472d7e0\" id=\"for-index-options\" style=\"color:#ec4d37\">For Index Options:&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83e\udc16 Net limit: \u20b91,500 crore (at the end of the day)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83e\udc16 Gross limit: \u20b910,000 crore (total of either long or short positions)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These limits apply per PAN, and SEBI will gradually implement this between July 1 and December 5, 2025.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-8744ef1493b83c9eabac57df357ae7f8\" id=\"for-index-futures\" style=\"color:#ec4d37\">For Index Futures:&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The limits will differ depending on the type of participant:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>FPI Category I:<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/navia.co.in\/blog\/category\/mutual-funds\/\">Mutual Funds<\/a>, Brokers (proprietary or client trades) can hold the higher of 15% of market-wide open interest or \u20b9500 crore.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>FPI Category II: <\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like corporates, family offices, etc., can hold the 10% market-wide OI or \u20b9500 crore. These are in addition to your regular cash or stock holdings, and these futures limits will be measured on a gross notional basis.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In short, traders will have more room to trade index futures and options \u2014 but under tighter supervision to maintain market discipline.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-3b760a1fbd15b5b4666e79803e9f3d4b\" id=\"6-new-rules-for-derivatives-on-non-benchmark-indices\" style=\"color:#023368\">6. New Rules for Derivatives on Non-Benchmark Indices&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The new rules allow F&amp;O trading on non-benchmark indices. These indices must now have at least 14 stocks in them. Also, the largest <a href=\"https:\/\/navia.co.in\/blog\/category\/ipo-investments\/\">stock<\/a> in the index can&#8217;t have more than 20% weight, and the top three stocks together can&#8217;t make up more than 45% of the index. These rules will come into effect on November 3, 2025.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-bed883508d74fc4d8fea90c7efc082e7\" id=\"7-position-limits-for-individual-traders-in-single-stocks\" style=\"color:#023368\">7. Position Limits for Individual Traders in Single Stocks&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Starting October 1, 2025, individual traders can hold up to 10% of the total allowed limit (MWPL) in a single stock. Proprietary brokers can go up to 20%, while the combined limit for foreign investors (FPIs) and all brokers is capped at 30%.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-6df5e83e18a5bc20af6e05e76045c5aa\" id=\"8-pre-open-session-in-f-o-trading\" style=\"color:#023368\">8. Pre-Open Session in F&amp;O Trading&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like in the cash market, F&amp;O (Futures &amp; Options) will now have a pre-open session too. This session will apply to current-month futures contracts on individual stocks and indices, following the same rules as the cash market\u2019s pre-open and post-close sessions. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the last five trading days before expiry, the pre-open session will also include next-month futures contracts, since most trading shifts to the new expiry during that time. This rule will come into effect on December 6, 2025.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/open.navia.co.in\/index-navia.php\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"149\" src=\"https:\/\/navia.co.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/OPEN-DEMAT-ACC.png\" alt=\"SEBI\n\" class=\"wp-image-9412\" srcset=\"https:\/\/navia.co.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/OPEN-DEMAT-ACC.png 1024w, https:\/\/navia.co.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/OPEN-DEMAT-ACC-300x44.png 300w, https:\/\/navia.co.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/OPEN-DEMAT-ACC-150x22.png 150w, https:\/\/navia.co.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/OPEN-DEMAT-ACC-768x112.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-52e75b9cd62f782f7b9c9b63de5e59cc\" id=\"9-m-fs-and-ai-fs-to-report-options-exposure-using-fut-eq-method\" style=\"color:#023368\">9.

SEBI will release a separate circular with more details soon.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-1a301d985475fbd183707dd785c09529\" id=\"why-do-these-rules-matter-for-retail-traders\" style=\"color:#023368\">Why Do These Rules Matter for Retail Traders?&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udd38 Over nine out of ten retail F&amp;O traders lose money due to excessive leverage and speculative trading. Raising lot sizes and limiting contracts make it harder for casual traders to overextend, reducing exposure to severe losses.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udd38 By enforcing intraday limits and delta-based monitoring, SEBI ensures that traders cannot exceed risk thresholds undetected, so this protects them from unexpected margin calls.&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udd38 Tying open interest limits to actual market data (cash volumes\/free float) and switching to FutEq OI offers clearer insight.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udd38 Consolidating weekly expiries and raising upfront margins aim to reduce volatility around expiry days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-5c6c27297d730fa3a4d2ea0f4ae98e8a\" id=\"conclusion\" style=\"color:#023368\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>SEBI\u2019s F&amp;O reforms aim to create a safer, stable and more transparent derivatives market in India. And also, they introduce additional aspects like bigger investment per contract and higher margin calls. These will limit excessive speculation and protect retail traders. So, to become an informed investor, you have to adapt to these guidelines, which will give you an opportunity to trade wisely by promising derivatives space. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Traders and investors should check with their broker\/platform to ensure compliance.
