Query on F&O exit intraday position margin

Hi. I bought 2 lots of bank nifty f&o intraday by paying around 10k to 12k.

But while trying to exit the open position, the ‘funds required’ section was showing around 2L as opposed to my expectation of 13k. Since I had that much funds luckily I exited my position. But what if I don’t have that much amount in my funds balance, then how can I exit the open position?

Upon googling I found that margin should apply only for fresh short sell Orders and not while exiting an open position.

Please note that I didn’t had any other pending order at that time. Can any f&o expert help me out here? Thanks in advance.

Yes that’s what I did. On the positions page, there were 4 positions like add, exit, convert details. I selected the exit option.

If you already have a pending open order, it will show margin, if you try to sell again

I didn’t had any pending orders at that time. Orders tab was empty. Only one position was open. Please let me know if I am trying to exit in a wrong way. Screenshot attached in description. @neo_t

you must have had either an open SL order or target order. 🙂🙂🙂 Otherwise it will ask you to have full margin. 🙂🙂🙂
