Failing to cover short position

#1
Hiyaa
Can anyone tell me if I dont cover a short position in the cash market. Suppose i have shorted DLF @ 260 and i forget to square off before 3.30, what happens?

Thanks a lot

Next Time You Forget You Still Can Cover It With A Session That Is Called 'Post Closing' & Is Open For 10 Minutes, I Am Not Sure But The Timing Is From 4.50 To 5.00 PM

In Your Current Case It Will Be Auctioned For Short Delivery T+5, You Will Have A Minimum Penalty Of 20%

Another Alternaive To Salvage, If It Happened Today Is If You Know Somebody Preferably With Same Depository(NSDL-NSDL Or CDSL-CDSL) Then You Take An Off Market Transfer & Release The Pay-In Of Your Obligation Thus Avoiding An Auction


Happy & Safer Trading
