DESIGN OF THE PROJECT
INTRODUCTION TO RISK MANAGEMENT
Definitions of risk:
Risk is a Hazard, a source of danger; a possibility of incurring loss or misfortune;
"drinking alcohol is a health hazard"
a venture undertaken without regard to possible loss or injury; "he saw the
rewards but not the risks of crime"; "there was a danger he would do the
wrong thing"
expose to a chance of loss or damage; "We risked losing a lot of money in
this venture"; "Why risk your life?"; "She laid her job on the line when she
told the boss that he was wrong"
the probability of becoming infected given that exposure to an infectious
agent has occurred
gamble: take a risk in the hope of a favorable outcome; "When you buy these
stocks you are gambling"
Risk is a concept that denotes a potential negative impact to an asset or some
characteristic of value that may arise from some present process or future
event. In everyday usage, "risk" is often used synonymously with the
probability of a known loss. ...
Risk management
Risk management can be defined as the culture, processes, and structures that
are directed towards the effective management of potential opportunities and adverse
effects.

This is a broad definition that can quite rightly apply in nearly all fields of
management from financial and human resources management through to
environmental management. However in the context of contaminated sites, risk
management can be taken to mean the process of gathering information to make
informed decisions to minimise the risk of adverse effects to people and the
environment.
Risk assessment involves estimating the level of risk estimating the probability of
an event occurring and the magnitude of effects if the event does occur. Essentially
risk assessment lies at the heart ofrisk management, because it assists in providing
the information required to respond to a potential risk.
In a resource management setting, environmental risk assessment may be used to
help manage, for example:
natural hazards (flooding, landslides),
water supply and waste water disposal systems, and
Contaminated sites.
Human health risk assessment is one form of risk assessment, focusing on assessing
the risk to people and communities from hazardous substances or discharge of
contaminants.
Ecological risk assessment is another form of risk assessment that can be used to
assist management of risks to ecological values.
The focus of risk assessment for contaminated sites is usually human health, as a
large proportion of the known potentially contaminated sites are located in urban
areas. However, where valued natural environments are present, the focus of
ecological risk assessment is on assessing the risks to plants, animals and ecosystem
integrity from chemicals present at or discharging from a contaminated site.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE
The origin of the Stock Exchanges in India can be traced back to the later half of 19th
century. After the American Civil War (1860-61) due to the share mania of the public, the
number of brokers dealing in shares increased. The brokers organized an informal
association in Mumbai
named The Native Stock and Share Brokers Association in 1875.later evolved as
Bombay stock exchange .
Increased activity in trade and commerce during the
First World War and Second World War resulted in an increase in the stock trading. The
Growth of Stock Exchanges suffered a set after the end of World War. World wide
depression affected them most of the Stock Exchanges in the early stages had a speculative
nature of working without technical strength. After independence, government took keen
interest to regulate the speculative nature of stock exchange working. In that direction,
securities and Contract Regulation Act 1956 was passed, this gave powers to Central
Government to regulate the stock exchanges. Further to develop secondary markets in the
country, stock exchanges established at Mumbai, Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad
and Indore. The Bangalore Stock Exchange was recognized in 1963. At present there are
23 Stock Exchanges.
Till recent past, floor trading took place in all Stock Exchanges. In the
floor trading system, the trade take place through open outcry system during the official
trading hours. Trading posts are assigned for different securities where by and sell
activities of securities took place. This system needs a face to face contact among the
traders and restricts the trading volume. The speed of the new information reflected on the
prices was rather than the investors.The Setting up of NSE and OTCEI (Over the counter exchange of India
with the screen based trading facility resulted in more and more Sock exchanges turning
towards the computer based trading. BSE introduced the screen based trading system in
1995, which known as BOLT (Bombay on line Trading. System). Madras Stock
Exchange introduced Automated Network Trading System (MANTRA) on October 7,
1996 Apart from Bombay Stock Exchanges have introduced screen based trading.

Present Trading Mechanism
The National system provides single, nation wide Securities. It enables
investors in one part of the country to trade at the best quotes with an investors located in
any other part of the country through the members of the stock exchanges and
subsequently clears and settles the trade in an efficient and cost effective manner.
The primary objective of the stock market is to provide clear opportunity to the investors
throughout the country to trade any securities irrespective of the size of the order or the
broker through whom the order is routed. This provides the facility to execute the buy out
any extra cost to the investors.
There will be no trading floor in the exchanges. Instead, each trading member will have a
computer at his own office any where in India which will be connected to the central
computer system at the NSE through leased lines or VSATs (Very Small Aperture
Terminal), for an interim transition period of six months and subsequently by satellite link.
VSATs are relatively smaller dishes similar to dish antenna for cable T.V and have the
benefit of not being very expensive.
A satellite network makes it possible to connect almost all the parts of the nation quicklyas it is easy to install, as against the ground lines
Such as dial up modems leased lines which are prone to disruptions, satellite links on other
hands ensure high speed, availability and quality of the connection. This code of trading is
known as On-line Trading.

THEORETICAL
FRAMEWORK
TRADING PROCEDURE BEFORE ON-LINE
THE TRADING RING:
Trading on stock exchanges is officially done in the ring for a few hours from 11.00
A.M to 2.30P.M. Trading before or after official hour is called KERB TRADING. In the
trading ring space is provided for specified and non-specified sections. The members of
their authorized assistants have to wear a badge or carry with them identify cards given by
the exchange to enter the trading ring. They carry a Sauda book or confirmation memos
duly authorized by exchange. The stock exchanges operations at floor level are highly
technical in nature. Non-members are not permitted to enter into stock market. Hence,
various stages have to be completed in executing a transaction at a stock exchange. The
steps involved in the methods of trading have been given below:

A.CHOICE OF BROKER:
The prospective investor who wants to buy shares or the investor who wants to sell his
shares cannot enter into hall of the exchange and transact business. They have to act
through only member brokers. They can also appoint their bankers for this purpose. Since,
bankers can become members of stock exchange as per the present regulations.
So, the first task in transacting business on stock exchanges is to choose a broker of repute
or banker. Such peoples can ensure prompt and quick execution of a transaction at the
possible price.
At present there are 4500 authorized brokers in ISE.
INTODUCTION TO ONLINE TRADING
Gone are the days of trading on the floor. Technology has changed the landscape
of the stock markets. The look of the stock exchanges has undergone metamorphic changes
in the recent years. Prior to online trading, regional stock exchange was playing a very
important role in capital markets, as they were local investors. Regional SE, which was
unable to interact with other SEs started developing this own screen based trading and
connecting to other scrips which were not available with them. This also helped in
accessing the quotes and other market information from other stock exchange which
proved vital in the functioning of the system as a whole.

The trading network is depicted in given below NSE has main computer which
is connected through Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT) installed at its office. The
main computer runs on a fault tolerant STRATUS mainframe computer at the Exchange.
Brokers have terminals (identified as the PCs in the given picture) installed at their
premises which are connected through VSATs/ leased lines/modems. An investor informs
a broker to place an order on his behalf. The broker enters the order through his PC, which
runs under Windows NT and sends signal to the satellite via VSAT/leased line/modem.
The signal is directed to mainframe computer at NSE via VSAT at NSEs office. A
message relating to the order activity is broadcast to the respective member. The order
confirmation message is immediately displayed on the PC of the broker. This order
matches with the existing passive order(S) otherwise it waits for the active orders to enter
the system. On order matching, a message is broadcast to the respective member.

The users of the trading system can logon as either of the user type. The
significance of each type is explained below:
A. Corporate Manager: The corporate manager is a term assigned to a user placed at the
highest level in a trading firm. The facility to set Branch order value limits and user order
value limits is available to the corporate manager.
B. Branch Manager: The branch manager is term assigned to a user who is placed under
the corporate manager. The branch manager can set user order value limits for each of his
branch.
B. Dealer: Dealers are users at the lower most level of the hierarchy. A dealer can view
and perform order and related activities only for oneself.
Easier transaction processing.
Profit in time: Investor can make profits by selling shares when the going is good. They do
not have to instruct their brokers on the cut off price to sell shares.Ease and transparency: Since the broking, bank and demat account are all electronically
connected, all transaction get updated, demat account shows the latest stockholding
statement while the bank account shows the balance amount after buying or selling of
shares.
Precaution: Check for hidden costs of brokers age. Beware of net seamstress. Never
double click the mouse during execution of trade avoids cyber cafes and change password
regularly.

CLEARING & SETTLEMENT TRADING MECHANISM
The clearing and settlement mechanism in India securities market has witnessed
several innovations during the last decade. These include use of the state-of-art information
technology, compression of settlement cycle, dematerialization and electronic transfer of
securities, securities lending and borrowing, professionalisation of trading members, fine-
tuned risk management system, emergence of clearing corporation to assume counterparty
risk etc., though many these are yet to permeate the whole market.Till recently, the stock exchanges in India were following a system of account period
settlement for cash market transactions, expert for transaction in a few active securities,
which were settled under t+3 rolling settlement. The rolling settlement has been introduced
for all securities. With effect from April 1, 2003 T+2 rolling settlement has been
introduced. The stock exchange were also offering deferral products to provide leverage to
members to postpone their settlement obligations. The transaction are not settled
immediately but after 2 days after the trade day. The members receive the funds/securities
in accordance with the pay-in/pay-out schedules notified by the respective exchanges.
Given the growing volume of trades and market volatility, the time gap between trading
and settlement gives rise to settlement risk. In recognition of this, the exchanges and their
clearing corporation employ risk management practices to ensure timely settlement of
trades. The regulators have also prescribed elaborate margining and capital adequacy
standards to secure market integrity and protect the interests of investors. The exchanges
not providing counter-party guarantee have been advised by SEBI to set up trade guarantee
27

funds, which would honour pay-in liabilities in the event of default by a member. In
pursuance to this, 16 out of 23 exchanges have set up trade/settlement guarantee funds.
The trades are settled irrespective of default by a member and the exchange follows up the
defaulting member subsequently for recovery of his dues to the exchange. The market has
full confidence that settlements will take place in time and will be completed irrespective
of possible default by isolated trading members.
Movement of securities has become almost instantaneous in the dematerialized
environment. Two depositories viz., National Securities Depositories Ltd. (NSDL) and
Central Depositories Services Ltd. (CDSL) provide electronic transfer securities and more
then 99% of turnover is settled in dematerialized form. All actively traded scrips are held,
traded and settled in demat form. The obligations of members are downloaded to
members/custodians by the clearing agency. The members/custodians make available the
required securities in their pool accounts with Depository Participants (DPs) by the
prescribed pay-in time for securities. The depository transfers the securities from the pool
accounts of members/custodians to the settlement account of the clearing agency. As per
the schedule determined by the depository from the settlement account of the clearing
agency to the pool accounts of members/custodians. The pay-in and pay-out of securities isaffected on the same day for all settlements.

Categorization of stocks for imposition of margins
The Stocks which have traded at least 80% of the days for the previous six
months shall constitute the Group I and Group II.
Out of the scrips identified above, the scrips having mean impact cost of
less than or equal to 1% shall be categorized under Group I and the scrips
where the impact cost is more than 1, shall be categorized under Group II.
The remaining stocks shall be classified into Group III.
The impact cost shall be calculated on the 15th of each month on a rolling
basis considering the order book snapshots of the previous six months. On
the basis of the impact cost so calculated, the scrips shall move from one
group to another group from the 1st of the next month.
For securities that have been listed for less than six months, the trading
frequency and the impact cost shall be computed using the entire trading
history of the security.
Categorisation of newly listed securities
For the first month and till the time of monthly review a newly listed security
shall be categorised in that Group where the market capitalization of the
newly listed security exceeds or equals the market capitalization of 80% of

In case of securities in Trade for Trade segment (TFT segment) VaR as applicable to
Group 3 (illiquid securities) shall be applicable
VaR margin rate for a security constitutes the following:
1. Value at Risk (VaR) based margin, which is arrived at, based on the methods
stated above. The index VaR, for the purpose, would be the higher of the
daily Index VaR based on S&P CNX NIFTY or BSE SENSEX. The index
VaR would be subject to a minimum of 5%.
2. Security specific Margin: NSCCL may stipulate security specific margins for
the securities from time to time.
The VaR margin rate computed as mentioned above will be charged on the net
outstanding position (buy value-sell value) of the respective clients on the respective
securities across all open settlements. There would be no netting off of positions
across different settlements. The net position at a client level for a member are
arrived at and thereafter, it is grossed across all the clients including proprietary
position to arrive at the gross open position.
For example, in case of a member, if client A has a buy position of 1000 in a security
and client B has a sell position of 1000 in the same security, the net position of the
member in the security would be taken as 2000. The buy position of client A and sell
position of client B in the same security would not be netted. It would be summed up
to arrive at the members open position for the purpose of margin calculation.
The VaR margin shall be collected on an upfront basis by adjusting against the total
liquid assets of the member at the time of trade.
The VaR margin so collected shall be released on completion of pay-in of the
settlement.
The details of all margins (VAR, extreme loss margin and mark to market) as at end
32
-
8/6/2019 Risk Manage Men At of Mahheelasst
33/76
of each day will be downloaded to members in their respective Extranet directory.
Extreme Loss Margin
The Extreme Loss Margin for any security shall be higher of:
1. 5%, or
2. 1.5 times the standard deviation of daily logarithmic returns of the security
price in the last six months. This computation shall be done at the end of each
month by taking the price data on a rolling basis for the past six months and
the resulting value shall be applicable for the next month.
The Extreme Loss Margin shall be collected/ adjusted against the total liquid assets
of the member on a real time basis.
The Extreme Loss Margin shall be collected on the gross open position of the
member. The gross open position for this purpose would mean the gross of all net
positions across all the clients of a member including its proprietary position.
There would be no netting off of positions across different settlements. The Extreme
Loss Margin collected shall be released on completion of pay-in of the settlement.
The details of all margins (VAR, extreme loss margin and mark to market) as at end
of each day will be downloaded to members in their respective Extranet directory.
Mark-to-Market Margin
Mark to market loss shall be calculated by marking each transaction in security to the
closing price of the security at the end of trading. In case the security has not been
traded on a particular day, the latest available closing price at the NSE shall be
considered as the closing price. In case the net outstanding position in any security is
33
-
8/6/2019 Risk Manage Men At of Mahheelasst
34/76
nil, the difference between the buy and sell values shall be considered as notional
loss for the purpose of calculating the mark to market margin payable.
The mark to market margin (MTM) shall be collected from the member before the
start of the trading of the next day.
The MTM margin shall also be collected/adjusted from/against the cash/cash
equivalent component of the liquid net worth deposited with the Exchange.
The MTM margin shall be collected on the gross open position of the member. The
gross open position for this purpose would mean the gross of all net positions across
all the clients of a member including its proprietary position. For this purpose, the
position of a client would be netted across its various securities and the positions of
all the clients of a broker would be grossed.
There would be no netting off of the positions and setoff against MTM profits across
two rolling settlements i.e. T day and T-1 day. However, for computation of MTM
profits/losses for the day, netting or setoff against MTM profits would be permitted.
In case of Trade for Trade Segment (TFT segment) each trade shall be marked to
market based on the closing price of that security.
The MTM margin so collected shall be released on completion of pay-in of the
settlement.
Margins collection from Client
Members should have a prudent system of risk management to protect themselves
from client default. Margins are likely to be an important element of such a system.
The same shall be well documented and be made accessible to the clients and the
34

Stock Exchanges. However, the quantum of these margins and the form and mode of
collection are left to the discretion of the members.
Margin Shortfall
In case of any shortfall in margin:
The members shall not be permitted to trade with immediate effect.

Effective deposits
All collateral deposits made by CMs are segregated into cash component and non-
cash component.
For Additional Base Capital, cash component means cash, bank guarantee, fixed
deposit receipts, T-bills and dated government securities. Non-cash component shall
mean all other forms of collateral deposits like deposit of approved demat securities.
At least 50% of the Effective Deposits should be in the form of cash.
Liquid Networth
Liquid Networth is computed by reducing the initial margin payable at any point in
time from the effective deposits.
The Liquid Networth maintained by CMs at any point in time should not be less thanRs.50 lakhs (referred to as Minimum Liquid Net Worth).
Margins
NSCCL has developed a comprehensive risk containment mechanism for the Futures
& Options segment. The most critical component of a risk containment mechanism
for NSCCL is the online position monitoring and margining system. The actual
margining and position monitoring is done on-line, on an intra-day basis. NSCCL
uses the SPAN (Standard Portfolio Analysis of Risk) system for the purpose of
margining, which is a portfolio based system
Initial Margin
NSCCL collects initial margin up-front for all the open positions of a CM based on
the margins computed byNSCCL-SPAN. A CM is in turn required to collect the

8/6/2019 Risk Manage Men At of Mahheelasst
43/76
initial margin from the TMs and his respective clients. Similarly, a TM should
collect upfront margins from his clients.
Initial margin requirements are based on 99% value at risk over a one day time
horizon. However, in the case of futures contracts (on index or individual securities),
where it may not be possible to collect mark to market settlement value, before the
commencement of trading on the next day, the initial margin may be computed over
a two-day time horizon, applying the appropriate statistical formula. The
methodology for computation of Value at Risk percentage is as per the
recommendations of SEBI from time to time.
Initial margin requirement for a member:
a. For client positions - shall be netted at the level of individual client and
grossed across all clients, at the Trading/ Clearing Member level, without any
setoffs between clients.
b. For proprietory positions - shall be netted at Trading/ Clearing Member level
without any setoffs between client and proprietory positions.
For the purpose of SPAN Margin, variousparameters are specified from time to
time.
In case a trading member wishes to take additional trading positions his CM is
required to provide Additional Base Capital (ABC) to NSCCL. ABC can be
provided by the members in the form ofCash, Bank Guarantee,Fixed Deposit
Receipts and approved securities.
Premium Margin
In addition to Initial Margin, Premium Margin would be charged to members. The
premium margin is the client wise margin amount payable for the day and will be
required to be paid by the buyer till the premium settlement is complete.

Because SPAN is used to determine performance bond requirements (margin
requirements), its overriding objective is to determine the largest loss that a portfolio
might reasonably be expected to suffer from one day to the next day.
In standard pricing models, three factors most directly affect the value of an option at
a given point in time:
1. Underlying market price
2. Volatility (variability) of underlying instrument
3. Time to expiration
As these factors change, so too will the value of futures and options maintained
within a portfolio. SPAN constructs scenarios of probable changes in underlying
prices and volatilities in order to identify the largest loss a portfolio might suffer
from one day to the next. It then sets the margin requirement at a level sufficient to
cover this one-day loss.

arrays, and other necessary data inputs for margin calculation are then provided to
members in a file called the SPAN Risk Parameter file. This file will be provided to
members on a daily basis.
Members can apply the data contained in the Risk parameter files, to their specific
portfolios of futures and options contracts, to determine their SPAN margin
requirements.
Hence members need not execute complex option pricing calculations, which would
be performed by NSCCL. SPAN has the ability to estimate risk for combined futures
and options portfolios, and re-value the same under various scenarios of changing
market conditions.
Risk Arrays
The SPAN risk array represents how a specific derivative instrument (for
example, an option on NIFTY index at a specific strike price) will gain or lose value,
from the current point in time to a specific point in time in the near future (typically
it calculates risk over a one day period called the look ahead time), for a specific
set of market conditions which may occur over this time duration.The specific set of
market conditions evaluated, are called the risk scenarios, and these are defined in
terms of :
(a) how much the price of the underlying instrument is expected to change over one
trading day, and
(b) how much the volatility of that underlying price is expected to change over one
46
-
8/6/2019 Risk Manage Men At of Mahheelasst
47/76
trading day.
The results of the calculation for each risk scenario i.e. the amount by which the
futures and options contracts will gain or lose value over the look-ahead time under
that risk scenario - is called the risk array value for that scenario. The set of risk
array values for each futures and options contract under the full set of risk scenarios
constitutes the Risk Array for that contract.
In the Risk Array, losses are represented as positive values, and gains as negative
values. Risk array values are typically represented in the currency (Indian Rupees) in
which the futures or options contract is denominated.
SPAN further uses a standardized definition of the risk scenarios, defined in terms of
(i) the underlying price scan range or probable price change over a one day period,
(ii) and the underlying price volatility scan range or probable volatility change of
the underlying over a one day period.These two values are often simply referred to as the price scan range and the
volatility scan range. There are sixteen risk scenarios in the standard definition.
These scenarios are listed as under:
1. Underlying unchanged; volatility up
2. Underlying unchanged; volatility down
3. Underlying up by 1/3 of price scanning range; volatility up
4. Underlying up by 1/3 of price scanning range; volatility down
5. Underlying down by 1/3 of price scanning range; volatility up
6. Underlying down by 1/3 of price scanning range; volatility down
7. Underlying up by 2/3 of price scanning range; volatility up
8. Underlying up by 2/3 of price scanning range; volatility down
9. Underlying down by 2/3 of price scanning range; volatility up
10. Underlying down by 2/3 of price scanning range; volatility down

11. Underlying up by 3/3 of price scanning range; volatility up
12. Underlying up by 3/3 of price scanning range; volatility down
13. Underlying down by 3/3 of price scanning range; volatility up
14. Underlying down by 3/3 of price scanning range; volatility down
15. Underlying up extreme move, double the price scanning range (cover 35% of
loss)
16. Underlying down extreme move, double the price scanning range (cover 35% of
loss)
SPAN uses the risk arrays to scan probable underlying market price changes and
probable volatility changes for all contracts in a portfolio, in order to determine
value gains and losses at the portfolio level. This is the single most important
calculation executed by the system.
As shown above in the sixteen standard risk scenarios, SPAN starts at the last
underlying market settlement price and scans up and down three even intervals of
price changes (price scan range).
At each price scan point, the program also scans up and down a range of probable
volatility from the underlying market's current volatility (volatility scan range).
SPAN calculates the probable premium value at each price scan point for volatility
up and volatility down scenario. It then compares this probable premium value to the
theoretical premium value (based on last closing value of the underlying) to
determine profit or loss.
Deep-out-of-the-money short options positions pose a special risk identification
problem. As they move towards expiration, they may not be significantly exposed to
"normal" price moves in the underlying. However, unusually large underlying price
changes may cause these options to move into-the-money, thus creating large losses
to the holders of short option positions. In order to account for this possibility, two of
48
-
8/6/2019 Risk Manage Men At of Mahheelasst
49/76
the standard risk scenarios in the Risk Array (sr. no. 15 and 16) reflect an "extreme"
underlying price movement, currently defined as double the maximum price scan
range for a given underlying. However, because price changes of these magnitudes
are rare, the system only covers 35% of the resulting losses.
After SPAN has scanned the 16 different scenarios of underlying market price and
volatility changes, it selects the largest loss from among these 16 observations. This
"largest reasonable loss" is the Scanning Risk Charge for the portfolio - in other
words, for all futures and options contracts.
Composite Delta
SPAN uses delta information to form spreads between futures and options contracts.
Delta values measure the manner in which a future's or option's value will change in
relation to changes in the value of the underlying instrument. Futures deltas are
always 1.0; options deltas range from -1.0 to +1.0. Moreover, options deltas are
dynamic: a change in value of the underlying instrument will affect not only the
option's price, but also its delta.
In the interest of simplicity, SPAN employs only one delta value per contract, called
the "Composite Delta." It is the weighted average of the deltas associated with each
underlying price scan point. The weights associated with each price scan point
are based upon the probability of the associated price movement, with more likely
price changes receiving higher weights and less likely price changes receiving lower
weights. Please note that Composite Delta for an options contract is an estimate of
the contract's delta after the lookahead - in other words, after one trading day has
passed.
Calendar Spread or Intra-commodity or Inter-month Risk Charge
49
-
8/6/2019 Risk Manage Men At of Mahheelasst
50/76
As SPAN scans futures prices within a single underlying instrument, it assumes
that price moves correlate perfectly across contract months. Since price moves across
contract months do not generally exhibit perfect correlation, SPAN adds an Calendar
Spread Charge (also called the Inter-month Spread Charge) to the Scanning Risk
Charge associated with each futures and options contract. To put it in a different
way, the Calendar Spread Charge covers the calendar (inter-month etc.) basis risk
that may exist for portfolios containing futures and options with different
expirations.
For each futures and options contract, SPAN identifies the delta associated each
futures and option position, for a contract month. It then forms spreads using these
deltas across contract months. For each spread formed, SPAN assesses a specific
charge per spread which constitutes the Calendar Spread Charge.
The margin for calendar spread shall be calculated on the basis of delta of the
portfolio in each month. Thus a portfolio consisting of a near month option with a
delta of 100 and a far month option with a delta of 100 would bear a spread chargeequivalent to the calendar spread charge for a portfolio which is long 100 near month
futures contract and short 100 far month futures contract.
A calendar spread would be treated as a naked position in the far month contract
three trading days before the near month contract expires.
Short Option Minimum Charge
Short options positions in extremely deep-out-of-the-money strikes may appear to
have little or no risk across the entire scanning range. However, in the event that
underlying market conditions change sufficiently, these options may move into-the-
money, thereby generating large losses for the short positions in these options. To
cover the risks associated with deep-out-of-the-money short options positions, SPAN
assesses a minimum margin for each short option position in the portfolio called the
50
-
8/6/2019 Risk Manage Men At of Mahheelasst
51/76
Short Option Minimum charge, which is set by the NSCCL. The Short Option
Minimum charge serves as a minimum charge towards margin requirements for each
short position in an option contract.
For example, suppose that the Short Option Minimum charge is Rs. 50 per short
position. A portfolio containing 20 short options will have a margin requirement of
at least Rs. 1,000, even if the scanning risk charge plus the inter month spread charge
on the position is only Rs. 500.
Net Buy Premium (only for option contracts)
In the above scenario only sell positions are margined and offsetting benefits for buy
positions are given to the extent of long positions in the portfolio by computing the
net option value.
To cover the one day risk on long option positions (for which premium shall be
payable on T+1 day), net buy premium to the extent of the net long options position
value is deducted from the Liquid Networth of the member on a real time basis. Thiswould be applicable only for trades done on a given day. The Net Buy Premium
margin shall be released towards the Liquid Networth of the member on T+1 day
after the completion of pay-in towards premium settlement.
Computation of Initial Margin - Overall Portfolio Margin Requirement
The total margin requirements for a member for a portfolio of futures and options
contract would be computed as follows:
(i) SPAN will add up the Scanning Risk Charges and the Intracommodity Spread
Charges.
(ii) SPAN will compares this figure (as per i above) to the Short Option Minimum
charge
(iii) It will select the larger of the two values between (i) and (ii)
51

(iv) Total SPAN Margin requirement is equal to SPAN Risk Requirement (as per iii
above), less the net option value, which is mark to market value of difference in
long option positions and short option positions.
(v) Initial Margin requirement = Total SPAN Margin Requirement + Net Buy

Black-Scholes Option Price calculation model
The options price for a Call, computed as per the following Black Scholes formula:
C = S * N (d1) - X * e- rt * N (d2)
and the price for a Put is : P = X * e- rt * N (-d2) - S * N (-d1)
where :
d1 = [ln (S / X) + (r + 2 / 2) * t] / * sqrt(t)d2 = [ln (S / X) + (r - 2 / 2) * t] / * sqrt(t)
= d1 - * sqrt(t)
C = price of a call option
P = price of a put option
S = price of the underlying asset
X = Strike price of the option
r = rate of interest
t = time to expiration
= volatility of the underlying

their positions through offsetting positions till the normal trading in the scrip is
resumed.
The normal trading in the scrip shall be resumed only after the open outstanding
position comes down to 80% or below of the market wide position limit.
A facility is available on the trading system to display an alert once the open interest
in the futures and options contract in a security exceeds 60% of the market wide
position limits specified for such security. Such alerts are presently displayed at time
intervals of 10 minutes.
At the end of each day during which the ban on fresh positions is in force for any
scrip, when any member or client has increased his existing positions or has created
a new position in that scrip the client/ TMs shall be subject to a penalty of 1% of the
value of increased position subject to a minimum of Rs.5000 and maximum of Rs.1,

The penalty shall be recovered from the clearing member affiliated with such trading
members/clients on a T+1 day basis along with pay-in. The amount of penalty shall
be informed to the clearing member at the end of the day.
Price Scan Range
To compute worst scenario loss on a portfolio, the price scan range for option on
individual securities and futures on individual securities would also be linked to liquidity,
measured in terms of impact cost for an order size of Rs 5 lakh calculated on the basis of
order book snapshots in the previous six months. Accordingly if the mean value of the
impact cost exceeds 1%, the price scanning range would be scaled up by square root of
three. This would be in addition to the requirement on account of look ahead period as
may be applicable.
The mean impact cost as stipulated by SEBI is calculated on the 15th of each month on a
55
-
8/6/2019 Risk Manage Men At of Mahheelasst
56/76
rolling basis considering the order book snap shots of previous six months. If the mean
impact cost of a security moves from less than or equal to 1% to more than 1%, the
price scan range in such underlying shall be scaled by square root of three and scaling
shall be dropped when the impact cost drops to 1% or less. Such changes shall be
applicable on all existing open position from the third working day from the 15th of each
month. The detail ofimpact coston the list of underlyings on which derivative contracts
are available and themethodology of computation of the same are available at our
website.
