Eg RELIANCE is listed in F&O segment the minimum qty in 1 lot is 250 and it costs Rs. approx. 31,410 to trade in it. These margins keep changing depending on the price increases or decreases and the volatility are decided by the exchange. If you had to buy 250 shares of RELIANCE in the cash segment, you would have to shell out : Rs 250 x 860 = 2.15 lakhs for it!!
