5.5.1 Beginning of day one

Suppose that the position at the beginning of day one is as follows:
 
Member’s Liquid Assets Cash equivalent deposits 35,00,000

Securities deposits (net of haircuts) 40,00,000

Member’s Open Position 200 contracts long in the 3 month contract
Futures Prices 3 month contracts is Rs. 1,00,000

1 month contract is Rs. 98,000

Initial Margin 5%
Days to expiry Fifth day before expiry of one month contract

The margin and capital adequacy calculations will be as follows:

  • Initial margin = 5% * 200 * 1,00,000 = 10,00,000
  • Total open position = 2,00,00,000
  • Total liquid assets will be treated as 70,00,000 only since at least 50% of total liquid assets must be in cash equivalents (see 5.3).
  • Liquid net worth = 70,00,000 - 10,00,000 = 60,00,0000
Both conditions in 4.2 above are satisfied as shown below:

Condition 1. 60,00,000 > 50,00,000

2. 60,00,000 * 331/3 = (20,00,00,000) > 2,00,00,000.
