SEBI - New Rules for Peak Margin in Intraday Trading (Phase 2 Effective from 1, March, 2021)

Peak Margin is the minimum margin that MUST be collected by brokers from their clients in advance of placing any intraday / delivery order in the Cash and derivatives segment. This aims to curb the excessive leverage for intraday and derivatives positions. Clearing corporations will randomly take 4 snapshots at predefined time windows for arriving at such peak margin requirements on open positions during the day. Highest of the margin requirement from these 4 snapshots will be the Peak Margin. 

Daily peak margin obligation of the client will be compared with his/her margin available with the broker and the higher shortfall in collection of margin obligation shall be considered for levying of penalty as per the extant framework, as per SEBI's circular. 

Who is liable to pay the penalty on the peak margin shortfall? Broker is liable for both reporting the shortfall in collection of peak margin and pay penalty on such shortfall. The penalty is in range of 0.5% to 5% of the shortfall amount on a daily basis.

In the second phase of peak margin brokers need to collect 50% margin from their customers. In short, if a trader needs to take up a position of Rs 1 lac, he will need to deposit Rs 50 thousand as margin with his broker. Till last week, the trader had to deposit 25 percent of the trade value as margin.

From December 1, 2020, SEBI introduced the concept of peak margin reporting, in which stockbrokers have to calculate margins based on the intraday peak position, not just the end-of-the-day positions. To arrive at an intraday peak position margin, clearing corporations have to take at least four snapshots randomly during the day.

SEBI has now mandated all the brokers to report the margins multiple times during the day. This is to ensure that all leveraged trades are backed by sufficient margins.

The number of times the brokers need to send the margins in a day (at least four snapshots) is decided by the clearing corporation. The highest margin is the peak margin of the day.

This is part of the phased adoption over the next 6 months each and full adoption is expected to happen by September 1, 2021.

Phase 1 (Dec 2020-Feb 2021) – The client should have 25% of the peak margin available with the broker.

Phase 2 (Mar 2021-May 2021) – The client should have 50% of the peak margin available with the broker.

Phase 3 (Jun 2021-Aug 2021) – In the third phase, SEBI has said that the client should have 75% of the peak margin.

Phase 4 (Sep 2021 onwards) – By Sep 2021, clients should have 100% of the peak margin obligation available with the broker during the day.

SHOULD YOU INVEST IN NCDs

 

NCDs are Fixed Income Instruments for Assured Returns Non Convertible Debentures (NCDs) or Bonds are debt investments in which you lend money to a corporate or government entity that borrows the funds, for a specified period of time at a fixed interest rate.

NCDs are suitable for

·         Stable consistent return with least risk

·         Consistent periodic return rather than lump sum return

·         Low risk appetite

·         Diversification of portfolio with debt instrument

NCDs Benefits

·         Return is relatively higher in NCDs than a lot of other investment avenues.

·         No income tax is deductible at source as per the provisions of Sec 193 of the IT Act.

·         NCDs are listed and traded on the exchange, hence providing liquidity to the investor.

·         Agencies like CARE, FITCH, CRISIL, ICRA rate NCD's that are good indicator of quality of debt paper.

·         As NCDs are only in Demat online form, it is easier to handle and track.

Difference between NCD and Bond

NCDs are issued by public companies, whereas bonds are issued by government entities, large companies, and financial institutions to raise capital for the business purpose. Bonds are generally secured, whereas NCDs can be secured and unsecured.

What are Convertible and Non Convertible Debentures

Convertible debentures are those type of debentures that can be converted into equity shares of the company. Non-convertible debentures are those debentures that cannot be converted into equity shares of the company.

Type of NCDs

Secured NCDs: Secured NCDs are considered safer of the two kinds as their issues are backed by the assets of the company. In the event of the company failing to pay on time, then the investors can recover their dues by liquidating the company’s assets. However, the interest offered on NCDs is low.

Unsecured NCDs: Unsecured NCDs are much riskier than the secured NCDs as the assets of the company do not back these. Hence, when the company defaults on its payment, the investors have no choice but to wait until they receive payments as there are no assets of the company to recover their dues. However, the interest rate offered on unsecured NCDs is higher than that of secured NCDs.

Is NCDs interest Taxable

In short term (Less than 1 year) NCDs are taxed at your slab rate, which means if you are in the highest tax bracket, the interest you earn will be taxed at 30%.

In long term capital gain tax is 10%. NCDs can work for those in the lower tax category or those with no taxable income.

 

Don’t let high interest rates sway you, look at the risks
