What Are Sebi's New F&O Inclusion Criteria?

Published On: June 28, 2024 - In the ongoing efforts to curb rampant trading in the futures and options market, watchdog Sebi has approved a stricter set of rules for the entry and exit of individual stocks in the derivatives segment. These rules aim to ensure that only well-performing and liquid stocks are allowed in this high-risk trading arena. Sebi's new criteria focus on a stock's performance in the cash segment. To qualify for F&O trading, stocks must rank among the top 500 by average daily market capitalisation and trading value.
