Under the futures and options (F&O) segment, three stocks were banned from trade on Thursday, 5 December, by the National Stock Exchange (NSE). The securities banned for the F&O trade are Granules India Ltd, Manappuram Finance, and RBL Bank. 

Derivative contracts of these stocks were banned as the open market interest for these securities has crossed 95% of the market-wide position limit (MWPL) set by the exchanges. The MWPL is the maximum number of contracts that can be opened at any particular time.

RBL Bank derivative contracts’ open interest is 96.2% of its MWPL on 4 December, compared to 132.5% for Granules India and 91.9% for Manappuram Finance.

The ban will be lifted once the position falls below 80%. Traders will get penalised for buying or selling these securities. They will be available for trading in the cash market. Aditya Birla
