@Rajesh@PravinJ@Poornima Is buyback of holdings now possible? From the main post, one gets the idea that this is a regulatory change but if it is a black and white regulatory change then it applies to all stock brokers in India and no one would be allowing buyback of sold holdings but that is clearly not the case as buyback is allowed at the largest stock broker and no one there is running into any margin shortages. Converting position to intraday and then buying back may be a temporary workaround but not a solution as it’s not feasible, not scalable and not convenient.
So what is the real reason behind Dhan not allowing to buy back sold holdings? Even in the linked NSE circular, no where does the circular says that sold securities cannot be bought the same day.
We refer to the circular above and make changes to the processes, it clearly states that when Securities are sold from holdings, we can pass 80% limit after early pay-in of those sold shares. Can’t comment on what other brokers do. Alternative for doing buyback is to convert the order to Intraday, this solves for the same.
Dhan, this is deal breaker for swing traders. Zerodha, Mstock, etc. brokers allow delivery square off whereas dhan is using regulatory excuse to deny its customer the intraday profit then can get after selling their holdings.
That is k. But if clients have sufficient fund they should be allowed to buy back what they sold without going for intraday product. There is no regulatory hurdle in allowing the client to buy back what was sold the same day if he has sufficient funds left in the account.
What’s more laughable is that Dhan is losing brokerage and they are not aware of it.
Dhan team, how many delivery trade do you block every month because of this policy and lose brokerage, could you calculate loss of revenue caused by this?
Just multiply no. of delivery trades which end up in price fall with Rs. 20/- missing brokerage.
Stupid policy is being defended as smart move. You are losing brokerage because of this. period.
