    Required Margin: Required margin will display the margin which will be required to place all/selected orders in the Basket on clicking the View Margin link.

Example: Margin Trade: Buy 25 Qty Buy of FUT-CNXBAN-29-Jul-2021 @ 38000 Sell: 25 Qty Sell of FUT-CNXBAN-26-Aug-2021 @ 38050 Required Margin will display the order level margin required for placing these orders. Hence, the required margin will be calculated as below: Total SPAN Margin required is 302870 and Initial Exposure Margin % is 2% Initial Exposure Margin = ((25*38000) (25*38050)) * 2% = 38025. So the required margin displayed for the above basket orders will be = 302870 38025 = 340895 Final Margin is the position level margin including spread benefit or hedge benefit that will be eventually blocked after all orders are executed. In case you want to check the Margin requirements including spread or hedge benefit considering all your existing positions then you can tick the 'Include Existing Positions' checkbox.

Final margin will be calculated as follows: Total SPAN Margin required is 167780 and Initial Exposure Margin % is 2% Initial Exposure Margin = ((25*38000) (25*38050)) * 2% = 38025. So the final margin displayed for the above basket orders will be = 167780 38025 = 205805 Please note, Option Buy Premium will be included in the Required margin and Final margin value.
