You can convert the product type of hedged positions (MIS to NRML and vice versa) one leg at a time. However, as soon as you convert the product type of a particular hedged position, the margin benefit of the hedge will no longer be available, and the required margin will increase for the intraday and overnight positions.
Example scenario
- You have bought Nifty long futures and Nifty short call option contract using MIS (Intraday) product type and received the margin benefit as it's a hedged position.
- If you convert only one position to NRML (overnight), the margin benefit will no longer be available, and your required margin will increase.
- However, if you convert both positions to NRML, you will continue to receive margin benefits.
