This nudge appears because of a regulatory change that became effective on 7th October 2024. This change allows you to use 100% of the proceeds from selling your holdings for other trades on the same day, instead of the previous 80% limit.
What changed
- Before: When you sold shares worth ₹1,00,000, only ₹80,000 was available on the same day for further trades. You had to wait until the next day to access the remaining ₹20,000.
- After: When you sell shares worth ₹1,00,000, you can now use the entire ₹1,00,000 for further trades on the same day.
