What does "Your order is not accepted. Minimum of 2,500 INR required" mean?

If your order is canceled and you receive the error message "Your order is not accepted. Minimum of 2,500 INR required", it means the Commodities segment's Net Liquidation Value of your IB India account has fallen under 2,500 INR.

IB India accounts must maintain a minimum Commodities segment Net Liquidation Value of 2,500 INR to trade index futures, index options, currency futures and currency options, which are held in the Commodities segment of the account.

In order to submit the order you will need to reduce open positions in stocks, stock futures and stock options, which are held in the Securities segment of your account, or deposit additional funds to the account.

The requirement of at least 2,500 INR of Commodities segment Net Liquidation Value does not apply to the trading of stocks, stock futures and stock options. Please note, the minimum initial margin required for shorting an NSE stock is 2,500 INR.

You can see the Equity with Loan Value and Net Liquidation Values of your account in the Account window of TWS.  More information on Time of Trade Margin Calculations can be found on our website.
