Why is the order in the far month commodity F&O contracts getting rejected?

If you place orders for MCX commodity contracts in far month, they will be rejected, and an error message will be displayed as follows:


Trading in the far-month contracts is not permitted due to their lack of liquidity and high volatility. As a result, you can trade only the current month's commodity options contracts at Zerodha. The next month's options contract becomes available for trading one day prior to the expiry of the current month's contract. However, Zerodha allows two months' options contracts for energy contracts (Natural Gas, NG Mini, Crude Oil, and Crude Mini), and MIS is allowed for these energy options contracts. Zerodha blocks MIS for all other commodity options contracts.
