Margin shortfall occurs when a client fails to maintain a sufficient amount of margin. It's the difference between the required margin (as per SEBI) and the actual margin available in the form of funds/collateral.
Important: In case of margin shortfall, the client will not be able to take any new trading positions and the broker will make a call asking the client to deposit additional funds to cover potential losses or reduce your open positions. In case of an open position that requires more margin than already placed, in such a scenario client should immediately add more money to the trading account, or in case of failure - the position will be squared off by Pocketful.
