Why is my F&O order getting rejected?

Your F&O order may get rejected due to one of the following reasons:

Insufficient Margin: 

• If you do not have enough margin to place the order, your F&O order may get rejected. The margin required for the F&O trade is displayed when placing the order. You should ensure that you have sufficient margin to avoid order rejection.

Price Issues or Order Issues

• Price outside Last Price Point (LPP) range: If your order price has been set outside the LPP range that was set by the exchange, your F&O order may face rejection. The LPP is set by the exchange to avoid extreme trades.
• Unreasonable Stop-Loss Price: If you have set a stop-loss price that is too far from the current market price, your F&O order may get rejected.
• Invalid or Missing order details: If your order details such as quantity, price, or order type is invalid or missing, your order may get rejected.

Contract Restrictions:

• Scrips in the Ban Period: If the stock that you are trading in has been banned for F&O trading by the exchange when volume limits are exceeded, your F&O order may get rejected.
• Inactive Contract: If the order is placed in a strike price or contract which is not actively traded, the F&O order may get rejected.
• Stop-Loss Market (SL-M) Orders blocked for options: Stop-Loss Market (SL-M) orders are restricted by the exchange for options to manage risks during high volatility. If you have placed such an order, it may get rejected.
• Long-Dated Contracts blocked: Some exchanges disallow trading in long-dated contracts. If you try to place an order in such contracts, it may get rejected.
