Just I checked with Hdfcsec they told me for future this concept of peak margin is not applicable. the required margin has been already collected by them.
This is applicable for equity intraday trading.
Hope they have given me correct information.
Else it's heart attack for me.

ST DA, and other expert advice on this will be helpful.
Desperate help needs.
I agree with TracerBullet. Seems your position is NRML and probably there should not be any additional margin/funding required.
In case you are so worried about margin required/market movement in opposite direction of your position, why not hedge, if not done already, with buying a Call option, may be few percentage points higher from current levels. This hedge will help reduce your overall margin requirement substantially.

Alternatively, you may consider selling PUT of strike 17,100 and buy PUT of strike 16,500 to capture premium decay in case market continues with bullish tone. And if market reverses to benefit your original position, loss in above put strategy will be more than compensated with your original position.

I have commented based on assumptions about your current position(s). Request you to proceed as per your own judgement.
 
If a trade can give you heart attack, you are not trading but gambling. Reduce risk. I remember similar thing happened some time back but you don't seem to learn.

Absolutely no point in taking any meaningful risk until you have edge.
Trading is hard enough even once you have edge, god help you if you don't. If you have gambling tendencies, then stop trading and if you cannot maybe better go to casino with cash in hand. Seriously - at least you wont take leverage and will have defined max loss.

All the best for this trade, but market will eventually take a big bite one day if you trade like this.
Thanks for advice. But still confusion remains....

As per the articles following was clarified.
SEBI New Margin Rules: Market regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India’s (SEBI) new margin rules will come into effect from Wednesday (September 1). Under the new peak margin rule, traders will be required to give 100 per cent margin upfront for their trades. It is likely that the new rule will impact intraday trade.

Notably, the SEBI had introduced the new peak margin regulation a year ago for day traders. It is being implemented in a phased manner. In the first phase, traders were supposed to maintain at least 25 per cent of the peak margin between December 2020 and February 2021. This margin was raised to 50 per cent between March and May in the second phase and is proposed to be raised to 75 per cent between June and August in the third phase and finally to 100 per cent from September 1 onwards.
Earlier this month, stock brokers' association Anmi had written to the SEBI as well as the Finance Ministry regarding the proposal to have 100 per cent peak margin for intraday trades.

1. New Margin Rules: How it will affect trading
Buying and selling of shares will require upfront margin from now onwards. For ex- If you want to buy Reliance Industries shares worth Rs 1 lakh, you must have Rs 20,000 in your account as cash and the rest money to be paid within two days.
Major change: If you want to sell Rs 1 lakh worth of Reliance shares from your holdings, for that scenario you also must have a minimum Rs 20,000 in your account. Failing which penalties will be levied. Selling from holding will also require an upfront margin in cash. Therefore, traders can keep extra cash or can pledge other holdings for the stipulated margin required.
2. BTST Closed
Shares bought today cannot be sold tomorrow. For ex - You bought Reliance on Monday. You can only sell those shares after receiving the delivery of shares. T+2 you can sell on Wednesday. You can only sell the shares after you receive them in your DP/only after receiving the delivery of shares.
3. Cash and F&O segments
Funds from shares sold today from delivery cannot be used for new trades the same day. You can use the funds for new trades the next day. For ex - You sold Rs 100,000 worth of Reliance's shares today. You cannot use this money to buy fresh shares of other companies today. However, there will be no changes in Options and Futures rules.

Wrong. You can sell with 0 rs in your account... but only 80k will be added to your account that day and you can again buy only 80k worth of stocks that day... remaining 20k will come next day...

This was a confusing issue in December when it applied to CnC equity... bohot matha-pacchi hui hai ye issue pe brokers ke saath... ek baar boloclarify karo apne broker se Apegaonkar sir... he is wrong if he is saying this...

Sir Ji,
My account is with Hdfcsec and my relationship manager told me it won't affect on Future, no new rule is applicable....
Only confusing and getting more complicated .
Hope tomorrow our forum experts will put more light on this issue.
Hope those who do Future can disclose more information.
