Stock Market Rules: For the first time, SEBI issued a circular on new rules related to trading - applicable from April 1

SEBI has stated in a circular issued on March 28, 2025 that the new rules will come into effect from April 1, 2025. SEBI's circular states that intraday monitoring of position limits will begin for index derivatives. However, there will be no penalty right now if this limit is exceeded intraday. Let's understand this in simple language:

What is the purpose of the circular: Position limits in index derivatives (such as Nifty, Bank Nifty) will now be monitored several times a day, so that the system remains transparent and overtrading can be prevented.

New rule will come into effect from April 1, 2025:  Till now position limits were checked only at the end of the day. Now live checking will be done at least 4 times a day at random times.
