5 Policy on Debit Balances (T+5 Rule)

If your main ledger remains in debit for five consecutive days due to MTF MTM losses, margin requirements, or any other adjustments, the debit balance must be cleared by T+5 day. If the debit is not cleared by T+5, RMS will take necessary action to recover the outstanding amount, which may include squaring off your holdings.

If the difference between the client’s actual ledger balance and the holding value falls below 20%, the RMS team may initiate a partial square-off of holdings to recover the shortfall.

7. Square-Off Requirement for Removed Securities

If any stock is removed from the MTF trading list, you are required to square off that stock from your MTF positions. In case of non-compliance, RMS will take necessary action to clear the MTF ledger, including squaring off the respective stock.

8. Client Obligations

• Clients must maintain sufficient margin at all times.
• Any shortfall must be funded immediately to avoid RMS intervention.

9. Client Communication & Volatility Clause

RMS will make reasonable efforts to notify clients via email, SMS, or platform notifications regarding margin shortfalls or Potential Square-offs under MTF.

However, in situations involving extreme market volatility, sharp price movements, liquidity constraints, regulatory directives, or risk to the Company’s exposure, RMS reserves the absolute right to initiate partial or full square-off of positions without prior intimation to the client.

Non-receipt of communication due to technical reasons, network failure, or incorrect contact details shall not prevent RMS from taking necessary action.

and internal risk assessment.
