As of January 24, 2025, the National Stock Exchange (NSE) has placed the following nine stocks under the Futures and Options (F&O) ban:
- Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail
- Bandhan Bank
- Can Fin Homes
- Dixon Technologies (India)
- IndiaMART InterMESH
- L&T Finance Holdings
- Manappuram Finance
- Mahanagar Gas
- Punjab National Bank (PNB)
These securities have been restricted in the F&O segment because their aggregate open interest has surpassed 95% of the market-wide position limit (MWPL). While under the ban, traders are permitted only to reduce existing positions; initiating new positions in these contracts is prohibited. The ban will be lifted once the open interest falls below 80% of the MWPL.
It’s important to note that trading in the cash market for these stocks remains unaffected. Traders should exercise caution and stay updated with the latest information to avoid potential penalties associated with trading in banned securities.
