Shortage computation

The margins reported/short allocation shall be compared in the following manner:

a)    EOD margin obligation of the client/TM shall be compared with the respective client/TM margin available with the TM/CM at EOD. 
AND 
b)    Peak margin obligation of the client/TM, across the snapshots, shall be compared with respective client/TM peak margin available with the TM/CM during the day 
AND 
c)    Highest of intraday/EOD short allocation amount (after considering excess collateral across segments and the reporting for valid reason codes if any)

Higher of the shortfall in collection of the margin obligations at (a), (b) and (c) above, shall be considered for levying of penalty.

Non-reporting/ non submission of client margin

All instances of non-reporting of client margins by the TMs/CMs shall be treated similar to and as 100% short reporting of client margins and accordingly penalties shall be imposed.
