When open interest in a stock's futures and options crosses 95% of the market-wide position limit (MWPL), NSE puts it in the ban period. Traders can only reduce existing positions until it falls below 80%.

What happens if I add to a position in a banned stock?

NSE penalises any increase in open interest during the ban, and brokers usually block new positions. Reducing or closing positions is allowed.

Can I still buy the shares in the cash market?

Yes. The ban applies only to futures and options, not to buying or selling the shares themselves.

When is the list updated?

NSE publishes the next day's ban list every evening. This page shows the latest list we have and the date it applies to.
