8. Margin, Square-off and Risk Management
8.1 Margin Shortfall Based Square Off
(a) Customers must maintain the applicable margin at all times to retain open positions in the derivatives segment (F&O). Belong's RMS team is entitled, at its sole discretion and at any point in time, to liquidate positions to the extent necessary to meet the required margin. Any shortfall in the prescribed margin or exchange-stipulated margin may result in the square-off of open position(s), as determined by Belong, without prior notice. Belong shall not be liable for any loss, cost, or claim arising from such square-off, including any loss arising from the price at which the position is closed out, or from any delay in, or inability to, execute the square-off, whether due to market conditions, system failure, exchange restrictions, or any other cause.
8.2 Mark to Market Based Square Off
(a) If your mark-to-market (MTM) losses on derivatives positions exceed 50% of the funds in your Belong trading account, Belong may, at its sole discretion and without prior notice, square off your open position(s) to recover the balance and prevent further defaults. Belong shall not be liable for any loss, cost, or claim arising from such square-off, including any loss arising from the price at which the position is closed out, or from any delay in, or inability to, execute the square-off.
8.3 Negative Balance and Execution Risk
(a) If, for any reason including but not limited to order execution at a price materially different from the price at which margin was validated, market gaps, volatility, or system errors, the client's account reflects a negative or debit balance, Belong may square off the client's open position(s) at its sole discretion and without prior notice. The client shall remain liable for the full debit balance, including any amount in excess of funds or margin previously deposited with Belong, and Belong does not offer negative balance protection. Such debit balance shall accrue interest at the rate specified in Belong's Schedule of Fees, as updated from time to time, until cleared in full, in addition to any applicable penalty under Section 8.4.
8.4 Penalty and Fees
(a) Belong will charge an administrative fee for closing out your derivatives positions due to an MTM loss breaching the threshold in Section 8.2, or margin shortfall under Section 8.1. Such fee, together with interest on any unpaid debit balance under Section 8.3 and any other penalties or charges applicable on account of margin shortfall, shall be as per the latest Schedule of Fees published by Belong from time to time, available at https://getbelong.com/belong-schedule-of-charges/. Belong reserves the right to revise such fees, charges, and interest rates at its discretion, with the updated Schedule of Fees taking effect upon publication.
8.5 Transaction Dispute Window
(a) Any dispute or disagreement raised by the client regarding a transaction, square-off, debit, or penalty charged to their account must be raised in writing within 30 days of the transaction or event. Failure to raise a dispute within this period shall constitute deemed acceptance of the transaction, square-off, or charge by the client.
8.6 Eligibility for Derivatives Trading
(a) Access to GIFT Nifty Futures and other derivatives products on the Belong Platform is subject to Belong's assessment of the client's suitability, which may include review of income documentation, bank statements, trading experience, and/or net worth declarations as specified in the Account Opening Form. Belong reserves the right to restrict, limit, suspend, or decline derivatives trading access to any client at its sole discretion and without assigning any reason, including on the basis of insufficient documentation, risk profile, or regulatory considerations. Clients are required to have read and acknowledged the Risk Disclosure Document prior to activation of derivatives trading access, and such acknowledgement shall be conclusive evidence that the client has understood the risks involved.
8.7 Contract Expiry and Settlement
(a) GIFT Nifty Futures contracts are cash-settled on expiry based on the final settlement price determined by the Exchange. No fresh positions may be opened in a contract on or after such cutoff date and time as may be specified by Belong or the Exchange from time to time. Clients holding open positions at expiry will have such positions automatically settled in cash by the Exchange in accordance with Exchange rules; no physical delivery obligation arises. Clients wishing to maintain exposure beyond a contract's expiry must independently initiate a new position in the next available contract month. Belong does not automatically roll over positions on the client's behalf and shall not be liable for any loss arising from a client's failure to close, roll, or otherwise manage a position ahead of expiry.
8.8 Position Limits and Trading Restrictions
(a) Trading in GIFT Nifty Futures is subject to market-wide and/or client-level position limits, and to any bans, restrictions, or special margin measures, as may be prescribed or imposed by NSEIX/INDIAINX, NSEICC, IFSCA, or Belong's internal risk management policy from time to time. Where a contract reaches a prescribed position limit or is placed under a ban or restriction, clients will not be permitted to take new or additional positions in that contract during such period, and may only reduce existing positions through offsetting trades until the restriction is lifted. Belong shall not be liable for any loss arising from the imposition of such limits or restrictions.
8.9 Force Majeure
(a) Belong shall not be liable for any failure, delay, or inability to perform its obligations under these Terms, including order execution, margin collection, communication of alerts, or square-off, arising from causes beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to Exchange or Clearing Corporation system outages, network, telecommunication, or internet failures, power failures, acts of government or regulatory authorities, strikes, natural disasters, epidemics, or other events of force majeure. Clients shall have no claim against Belong on account of any suspension, interruption, non-availability, delay, or malfunction of the Exchange's systems, Belong's trading platform, or any third-party system or service, arising from any cause beyond Belong's reasonable control.
8.10 Record Retention
(a) Belong shall maintain records of client complaints, contract notes, statements of account, and margin statements for such minimum period as may be prescribed under Applicable Law, or such longer period as Belong may determine appropriate for regulatory, contractual, or operational purposes.
8.11 No Investment Advice
(a) Belong acts solely as a broker-dealer and/or distributor in relation to derivatives products. Nothing on the Belong Platform, including any market data, analytics, alerts, or educational content, constitutes investment advice, a recommendation, or a solicitation to trade. All trading decisions are made independently by the client, at the client's sole risk.
8.12 Assumption of Risk
(a) The client acknowledges having read and understood the Risk Disclosure Document and confirms that derivatives trading involves a high degree of risk, including the risk of loss exceeding the amount invested or deposited. The client trades in derivatives at their own volition and sole risk, and Belong makes no representation or warranty regarding potential profit or loss.
8.13 Indemnity - RMS Actions
(a) The client agrees to indemnify and hold Belong harmless against any loss, cost, claim, or liability arising from Belong's exercise of its rights under Sections 8.1 to 8.3 (Margin Shortfall, MTM, and Negative Balance Square-off), including any action taken in good faith based on incomplete, delayed, or erroneous data received from the Exchange, Clearing Corporation, or any third-party system.
