Please deposit a cheque/cash in your Bank Account by filling the pay-in slip. In case of a cheque, the money should come into your Bank account as soon as the cheque is cleared.

Online Investing

On which exchanges will I be able to buy and sell shares?

CBSL offers its customers to execute their trades on NSE and BSE.

What kind of orders can I place?

You can place both market and limit orders.

Limit Order is an order to buy or sell securities in which you specify the maximum price per unit in case of a Buy order and the minimum price per unit in case of a Sell order. The actual transaction can be at the specified price or a price more favorable than the price specified.

Market Orders have different interpretations for both NSE and BSE.

Market Orders in NSE: This is an order to buy or sell securities at the best price obtainable in the market at the time it is matched by the exchange. Therefore, chances of its getting executed are better. In case of market orders for NSE, all market orders placed which are not executed become limit orders at the last traded price. Where a market order is not executed fully, it becomes a limit order for the balance quantity at the last traded price.

Market Orders in BSE: In case of market orders placed on BSE, all buy market orders go to the Exchange with the price of the best offer and all sell market orders go to the exchange with the price of the best bid. In case at that point of time it is found that that particular bid or offer is no longer present in the exchange this market order gets cancelled by the exchange. In case of part execution of market order, the remainder order gets converted into a limit order at the last executed price.

Market orders can be placed only during market hours (i.e. when the Exchange is open for trading)

What is a Disclose Quantity (DQ) order?

Normally, the order quantity is disclosed in full to the market. An order with a Disclosed Quantity (DQ) condition/attribute allows the Trading Member to disclose only a part of the order quantity to the market. For example, an order of 1000 with a disclosed quantity condition of 200 will mean that 200 is displayed to the market at a time. After this is traded, another 200 is automatically released and so on till the full order is executed. DQ (Disclosed Quantity) should not be less than 10% of the Order Quantity and at the same time should not be greater than or equal to the Order Quantity.

Which shares will I be able to buy and sell?

You will be able to buy and sell all shares in the Cash Segment that are traded in the compulsory dematerialised form on the exchanges.

Leveraged Product

What is a leveraged product?

In a leveraged product, you take buy/sell positions in stock(s) with the intention of squaring off the position within the same day. If, during the course of the settlement cycle, the price moves in your favour (rises in case you have a buy position or falls in case you have a sell position), you make a profit. In case the price movement is adverse, you incur a loss. However, you also have the option to take/give delivery of buy/sell position respectively, if you have sufficient cash/securities to do so.

Normally to buy shares, you have to place (ensure availability of limit) 100% of the order value, while to sell shares, you need to have shares allotted from your demat account. With the help of leveraged products you can leverage on your trading limit by taking buy/sell positions much more than what you could have taken in cash segment. However, the risk profile of your transactions goes up.

How is leveraged trading different from delivery trading in Cash segment?

While buy/sell transactions in Cash Segment under Cash N Carry are settled by delivery, buy/sell transactions under the leveraged products are squared off unless converted into delivery. For example, when you place an order to buy 100 shares of Reliance in the cash segment, your intention is to pay for and receive the shares in your Demat Account. However, if the same order were to be placed under a leveraged product, your intention would be to sell those shares subsequently in the same settlement at a higher price and thereby make a profit on the same. However, if the price falls subsequently, there may be a loss.

Since a Cash N Carry trade is meant to be settled by delivery, the required cash or securities are blocked in full. For example, if you place an order to buy 100 shares of Reliance, 100% of the order value is blocked from your limit and if you place an order to sell 100 shares of Reliance, 100 shares of Reliance are blocked in your Demat Account. On the other hand, in a margin order, only a specified % of the order value is blocked from your limit. A sell order in the margin segment can be placed even without having any stock in demat account, provided sufficient limit is available. The most important thing to understand is that though you can leverage on your trading limit under these products, the risk profile of your transactions goes up substantially.

How do I convert my leveraged position into delivery (CNC)?

Project conversion facility is made available under net position menu. Client need to click on the client ID against respective scrip from converting the product. Product conversation order form will popup at the bottom of the screen with client has to submit.

Can I convert my position in Cash Segment into Margin Positions?

YES.

Can I convert my pending margin order into an Order for Cash Segment?

YES.

Is there any additional brokerage charged on leveraged positions converted to delivery?

Yes. All margin positions converted to delivery shall attract brokerage as applicable for delivery transactions.

When is the margin on leveraged positions released?

As soon as the margin position is closed out (either by squaring off or converting to delivery), the proportionate margin blocked on the position so squared off is released back and added to the limits.

How does 'conversion to delivery' impact limits?

On converting a 'Buy' position to delivery, additional amount is blocked from your limits to provide for 100% of the trade value of the converted quantity. On converting a 'Sell' position to delivery, the converted quantity is blocked in your Demat account. The limit increases on account of release of the margin blocked earlier on the 'Sell' position and further on account of 100% of the sale proceeds of the converted quantity.

What are the different kinds of leveraged products offered by CBSL?

CBSL offers two products under this roof:

1. Intra Day Trading (IDT)
2. Stop Loss Trading (SLT)

Stop Loss Trading (SLT - In Wings)

What is SLT?

SLT is an order placement feature where you can take a position at market price and also place a cover order for the position specifying the SLTP (Stop Loss Trigger Price) and the limit price. This will minimize the loss on the position. 'SLT' is a product whereby you can place a SLTP loss cover order at the time of taking the position itself. Thereby it gives a clear view of maximum downside involved in a particular position. Since you are committing to square up the position at a particular price, CBSL won't levy normal margin. It would block the maximum loss which you may suffer.

What is fresh order?

The order which is placed for creating the position is called fresh order.

What is a cover order?

The fresh order as defined above will help you take a position. Assuming you have taken a buy position, your cover will naturally be a sell order. The cover order will be compulsorily have to be a SLTP order .

From where do I place the trigger orders?

Fresh order and cover order have to be placed from the same screen.

Can I place a limit fresh order?

No, fresh order is always a market order.

What is a Stop Loss order?

A Stop loss order allows the client to place an order which gets activated only when the market price of the relevant security reaches or crosses a threshold price specified by the investor in the form of 'Stop Loss Trigger Price'. When a stop loss trigger price (SLTP) is specified in a limit order, the order becomes one which is conditional on the market price of the stock crossing the specified SLTP. The order remains passive (i.e. not eligible for execution) till the condition is satisfied. Once the last traded price of the stock reaches or surpasses the SLTP, the order becomes activated (i.e. eligible for execution by being taken up in the matching process of the exchange) and then on behaves like a normal limit order. It is used as a tool to limit the maximum loss on a position.

Examples:
Stop Loss Buy Order
'A' short sells Reliance shares at Rs 1750 in expectation that the price will fall. However, in the event the price rises above his buy price 'A' would like to limit his losses. 'A' may place a limit buy order specifying a Stop loss trigger price of Rs 1760 and a limit price of Rs 1765. The stop loss trigger price (SLTP) has to be between the last traded price and the buy limit price. Once the market price of Reliance breaches the SLTP i.e. Rs 1760, the order gets converted to a limit buy order at Rs 1765.

Stop Loss Sell Order
'A' buys Reliance at Rs 1750 in expectation that the price will rise. However, in the event the price falls, 'A' would like to limit his losses. 'A' may place a limit sell order specifying a Stop loss trigger price of Rs 1740 and a limit price of Rs 1735. The stop loss trigger price has to be between the limit price and the last traded price at the time of placing the stop loss order. Once the last traded price touches or crosses Rs. 1740, the order gets converted into a limit sell order at Rs. 1735.

Important
Please note that in a buy order the SLTP cannot be less than the last traded price. This is treated as a normal order because the condition that the last traded price should exceed the stop loss trigger price for a buy order is already satisfied. Similary, in case of a stop loss sell order the SLTP should not be greater than the last traded price for the same reason.

What are the details to be given to place a fresh order?

Following details should be provided to place a fresh order.

a. Position (Buy/Sell)
b. Stock
c. Quantity
d. Exchange
e. Price - Market

Are the fresh orders and cover order to be placed together?

Yes, both the orders are to be placed together.

Should the quantity of fresh and cover be the same?

Yes, the quantity needs to be the same.

What are the details to be given for a cover order?

The details to be entered for a cover order are
a. Quantity
b. Position
c. Exchange
d. Limit price
e. SLTP

The first 3 values would be automatically picked up from the Fresh order details.

Can I cancel the cover order?

No, cover order cannot be cancelled.

Can I modify the cover order?

Yes, you can modify the cover order subject to the Trigger conditions being fulfilled.
You can even modify the cover order to a profit scenario. Assume you take a buy position for the fresh order of 1000 shares at current market price of Rs 100/-. Simultaneously you also place the sell (cover order) of 1000 shares as Limit price Rs 90/ and SLTP Rs 95/-. The above trigger condition is defined with a view to curtail losses.
If subsequently the current market price shoots up to Rs 110/-. You can modify the order as below Limit price Rs 103/- SLTP Rs 108/-.

What is the margin that is charged on the fresh order?

Margin in case of fresh order is charged to the extent of maximum possible loss that you may incur.

Would the Margin be recalculated when the order gets executed?

Yes, at the time of order placement the current market price at that point of time is considered. It may happen that execution happens at a different price than the one at which limits have been blocked.

Would the margin be recalculated at the time of modification?

Yes, it is recalculated and excess amount, if any, will be released or additional margin needed will be blocked if you change the limit.

Is the difference % between trade price of Fresh order and Limit price of Cover order different for different stocks?

CBSL may define different percentage for different stocks depending upon the volatility and market conditions of the scrip.

What is the difference between limit price and SLTP price that can be specified for a cover order?

Depending on the stock volatility and market situation, CBSL would specify the minimum % difference between limit price and SLTP price that can be maintained for a particular stock. You can however specify a greater difference as well.
Example: A 5% difference has to be maintained between the limit price and SLTP for ACC.
You have taken a buy position (fresh order) for 1000 shares in ACC at Current price of Rs 100/-.You specify the sell order (Cover order) for 1000 shares in ACC at SLTP of Rs 95/-.Since this is a sell order the limit price would be lower than the SLTP. Limit price in this case can be Rs 90.25/- and below.
If any price between 90.25 and 95 is specified the order cannot be placed.

Will this gap not affect the investor adversely?

No, In case of SLT product CBSL would collect the difference between the trade price of the fresh order and limit price of the cover order which is the maximum loss amount. There is no margin on this. However, it may so happen that when the order gets triggered and gets converted to limit price, the orders may get executed at the best available price which would be at better than the limit price and would minimize the loss. Hence it is the SLTP price is important to be considered and not the gap between trade price of the fresh order and limit price of cover order. Let us the understand the concept in the below given

Example:
Given that a 5% difference has to be maintained between the limit price and SLTP price
You have taken the buy position for 1000 shares in ACC at current price of Rs.100. You have specified the cover sell order with a SLTP price of Rs.95 and a limit price of 90. The difference amount collected would be (100-90)*100. Rs.10, 000/-
In the above scenario, if the order gets triggered at Rs.95/-, it may so happen that order may get executed at Rs.92/- which would be the best price available. In such a case, the loss would be recalculated as (100-92)*1000 = Rs.8000/- which is lower than the maximum loss collected. The excess amount collected as loss for Rs 2000/- would be released back. Hence the client is no way affected by the gap between the trade price of fresh order and limit price of the cover order.

What is the difference between limit price and SLTP price that CBSL would specify for a cover order?

CBSL would define the difference depending upon the volatility of the scrip and the market conditions prevalent. This percentage could be revised by CBSL even during the day. Existing orders would be unaffected by the revision but however if the orders are modified the revised percentage would apply.

How does the concept of SLT work?

Example
Assume you take a sell position for the fresh order of 1000 shares at current market price of Rs 100/-. Simultaneously you also place the buy (cover order) of 1000 shares as Limit price Rs 112/-.SLTP Rs 108/-.
The above example can be analyzed as follows
Apart from a minimum margin on the fresh order value, the maximum loss amount would be blocked on the fresh order as difference between current market price and limit price. (112-100)*1000= Rs 12, 000/-. The fresh order is a market order which will get executed at the market price available at that point of time. If the order gets executed as Rs 101/- Revised amount of Rs 1000/-would be released. The cover order would remain in the ordered state.
Current market price rises- Position is making a loss: Once the current market price starts rising and reaches Rs 108/-, the cover order would be triggered to a limit order with price Rs 112/-.The order would get executed at the best prices available up to the limit price of Rs. 112/- Current market price falls- Position is making a profit: You can modify the buy order to a market or limit order with SLTP closer to the execution and close the position at a profit.

What is meant by 'squaring off a position'? What is a cover order?

Squaring off a position means closing out a margin position. For example, if you have a margin buy position of 100 Reliance Shares', squaring off this position would mean selling 100 Reliance shares in the same settlement. The order placed for squaring off an open position is called a cover order. In the example, the order placed to sell 100 Reliance shares is a cover order against the open position - 'Bought 100 Reliance Shares'

Is margin blocked on all leveraged orders?

No. Margin is blocked only on leveraged orders, which are in the nature of building up fresh positions. Orders which are placed to square up existing open buy/sell position (called 'cover orders') shall not attract margin.

For example, You have a buy position (executed trade) of 100 shares in Reliance Industries. Now place a sell order for 100 shares in Reliance in margin. The sell order would not attract any margin, as it is in the nature of a cover order. However, if you place a sell order for 150 shares, the fresh component of the order i.e. 50 shares would attract margin at the applicable margin rate. Such orders are called 'partial cover order'.

Please note that cover order is recognized only against the executed open position and not against pending order. For example, if you have a pending buy order of 100 shares in Canara Bank and want to place a sell order of 100 shares in Canara Bank at a higher price, the sell order would not be recognized as a cover order and shall accordingly attract margin.

Is there any impact on the limit on execution of a buy/sale order in leveraged segment?

If it is an execution of a fresh order (i.e. an order which would result into building up an open position), the margin blocked gets appropriately adjusted for the difference, if any, in the order price at which the margin was blocked and the execution price. Accordingly the limits are adjusted for differential margin.

If it is an execution of a cover order (order which would result into square off of an existing open position in margin), the following impact would be factored into the limits:

a) Release of margin blocked on the open position so squared up.
b) Effect of profit & loss on the square off of such a transaction.

Buy In Today Sell Out Tomorrow (BITSOT)

What is BITSOT?

BITSOT is a facility offered by CBSL wherein the customer will be able to sell the shares that he has purchased even before he receives the delivery of the shares from the Exchange. He will not have to wait till the time he receives the delivery from the Exchange thus increasing his liquidity.

Sale in BITSOT is permitted only on T+1 (and not on T+2 i.e. pay-in/pay-out date of the Exchange). In other words, BITSOT shall be permitted only up to the day prior to the scheduled payout of shares from the Exchange.

How does the customer place an order in BITSOT?

The customer can place an order in BITSOT by clicking on BITSOT menu and click on the sell Hyperlink. The rest of the details which are required to be filled up are similar to that of a normal sell order.

What will happen in case the delivery for shares sold by the customer is not received from the exchange?

BITSOT is a facility whereby the customers are being allowed to sell their shares against their receivable position in the same shares from the same Exchange. However, in case there is a short delivery from the Exchange for the earlier buy transaction, then the BITSOT customers will also be giving short delivery for their sell transaction. The Exchange would either give delivery of shares bought earlier through market auction or shall closeout the buy transactions as per the Exchange Regulations. However, this would not help the customer in meeting his sale delivery obligations already committed by him as even if he receives the shares bought earlier through auction settlement, by that time the securities pay-in date for his sell transaction would be over. In such case, the customer will have to face auction proceedings against his sale transaction and will have to bear the auction losses, auction penalties and any other incidental charges etc.

Exchange does not net off subsequent sell transaction against the previous buy transaction across the settlements and all the settlement obligations are settled settlement wise.

All cost and consequences of any auction arising out of such BITSOT sell transactions shall be fully borne by the Customer and CBSL would not be held responsible for any such short delivery received by the customer and the consequential impact thereof.

In case of short delivery, CBSL will reduce the limits of the customer to the extent of the likely auction amount. On receiving the actual auction amount from the Exchange the limits will be adjusted to reflect the same and the auction amount will be recovered from the customer.

What would be the brokerage applicable?

The brokerage rates will be the same as that are applicable for CNC trades.

Whether the shares will get credited in my demat account?

In case the customer sells shares under BITSOT facility, the securities bought by the customer in one settlement will be retained either partly or fully by CBSL in its demat account for the purpose of meeting the pay in obligation of the customer towards the securities sold by the customer in the subsequent settlement(s).
