RISK DISCLOSURE DOCUMENT

The Exchange does not expressly or impliedly, guarantee nor make any representation concerning the completeness, the adequacy or accuracy of
this disclosure documents nor has the Exchange endorsed or passed any merits of participating in the Commodity Derivatives /trading. This brief
statement does not disclose all of the risks and other significant aspects of trading. You should, therefore, study derivatives trading carefully before
becoming involved in it.
In the light of the risks involved, you should undertake transactions only if you understand the nature of the contractual relationship into which you
are entering and the extent of your exposure to risk.
You must know and appreciate that investment in commodity futures contracts/ derivatives or other instruments traded on the Commodity
Exchange(s), which have varying element of risk, is generally not an appropriate avenue for someone of limited resources/ limited investment and/
or trading experience and low risk tolerance. You should, therefore, carefully consider whether such trading is suitable for you in the light of your
financial condition. In case, you trade on the Exchange and suffer adverse consequences or loss, you shall be solely responsible for the same and
the Exchange shall not be responsible, in any manner whatsoever, for the same and it will not be open for you to take the plea that no adequate
disclosure regarding the risks involved was made or that you were not explained the full risk involved by the concerned member. The Client shall be
solely responsible for the consequences and no contract can be rescinded on that account.
You must acknowledge and accept that there can be no guarantee of profits or no exception from losses while executing orders for purchase
and/or sale of a commodity derivatives being traded on the Exchange.
It must be clearly understood by you that your dealings on the Exchange through a member shall be subject to your fulfilling certain formalities set
out by the member, which may, inter alia, include your filing the know your client form and are subject to Rules, Byelaws and Business Rules of the
Exchange guidelines prescribed by SEBI from time to time and circulars as may be issued by the Exchange from time to time.
The Exchange does not provide or purport to provide any advice and shall not be liable to any person who enters into any business relationship with
any member of the Exchange and/ or third party based on any information contained in this document. Any information contained in this document
must not be construed as business advice/investment advice. No consideration to trade should be made without thoroughly understanding and
reviewing the risks involved in such trading. If you are unsure, you must seek professional advice on the same.
In considering whether to trade, you should be aware of or must get acquainted with the following:-
1. Basic Risks involved in the trading of Commodity Futures Contracts and other Commodity Derivatives Instruments on the Exchange.
i. Risk of Higher Volatility
Volatility refers to the dynamic changes in price that commodity derivative contracts undergo when trading activity continues on the
Commodity Exchange. Generally, higher the volatility of a commodity derivatives contract, greater is its price swings. There may be
normally greater volatility in thinly traded commodity derivatives contracts than in actively traded commodities/ contracts. As a result of
volatility, your order may only be partially executed or not executed at all, or the price at which your order got executed may be
substantially different from the last traded price or change substantially thereafter, resulting in real losses.
ii. Risk of Lower Liquidity
a. Liquidity refers to the ability of market participants to buy and/ or sell commodity derivative contract expeditiously at a competitive price
and with minimal price difference. Generally, it is assumed that more the number of orders available in a market, greater is the liquidity.
Liquidity is important because with greater liquidity, it is easier for investors to buy and/ or sell commodity derivatives contracts swiftly and
with minimal price difference and as a result, investors are more likely to pay or receive a competitive price for commodity derivative
contracts purchased or sold. There may be a risk of lower liquidity in some commodity derivative contracts as compared to active
commodity derivative contracts. As a result, your order may only be partially executed, or may be executed with relatively greater price
difference or may not be executed at all.
b. Buying/ Selling without intention of giving and/ or taking delivery of certain commodities may also result into losses, because in such a
situation, commodity derivative contracts may have to be squared-off at a low/ high prices, compared to the expected price levels, so as
not to have any obligation to deliver/ receive such commodities.
iii. Risk of Wider Spreads
a. Spread refers to the difference in best buy price and best sell price. It represents the differential between the price of buying a commodity
derivative and immediately selling it or vice versa. Lower liquidity and higher volatility may result in wider than normal spreads for less
liquid or illiquid commodities/ commodity derivatives contracts. This in turn will hamper better price formation.
iv. Risk-reducing orders
a. Most of the Exchanges have a facility for investors to place “limit orders”, “stop loss orders” etc. Placing of such orders (e.g. “stop loss”
orders or “limit” orders) which are intended to limit losses to certain amounts may not be effective many a time because rapid movement
in market conditions may make it impossible to execute such orders.

1
 b. A “market” order will be executed promptly, subject to availability of orders on opposite side, without regard to price and that while the
customer may receive a prompt execution of a “market” order, the execution may be at available prices of outstanding orders, which
satisfy the order quantity, on price time priority. It may be understood that these prices may be significantly different from the last traded
price or the best price in that commodity derivatives contract.
c. A “limit” order will be executed only at the “limit” price specified for the order or a better price. However, while the client received price
protection, there is a possibility that the order may not be executed at all.
d. A stop loss order is generally placed “away” from the current price of a commodity derivatives contract, and such order gets activated if
and when the contract reaches, or trades through, the stop price. Sell stop orders are entered ordinarily below the current price, and buy
stop orders are entered ordinarily above the current price. When the contract approaches pre- determined price, or trades through such
price, the stop loss order converts to a market/limit order and is executed at the limit or better. There is no assurance therefore that the
limit order will be executable since a contract might penetrate the pre- determined price, in which case, the risk of such order not getting
executed arises, just as with a regular limit order.
v. Risk of News Announcements
a. Traders/Manufacturers make news announcements that may impact the price of the commodities and/or commodity derivatives
contracts. These announcements may occur during trading and when combined with lower liquidity and higher volatility may suddenly
cause an unexpected positive or negative movement in the price of the commodity/ commodity derivatives contract.
vi. Risk of Rumours
a. Rumours about the price of a commodity at times float in the market through word of mouth, newspaper, websites or news agencies, etc.,
the investors should be wary of and should desist from acting on rumours.
vii. System Risk
a. High volume trading will frequently occur at the market opening and before market close. Such high volumes may also occur at any point
in the day. These may cause delays in order execution or confirmation.
b. During periods of volatility, on account of market participants continuously modifying their order quantity or prices or placing fresh
orders, there may be delays in execution of order and its confirmation.
c. Under certain market conditions, it may be difficult or impossible to liquidate a position in the market at a reasonable price or at all, when
there are no outstanding orders either on the buy side or the sell side, or if trading is halted in a commodity due to any action on account
of unusual trading activity or price hitting circuit filters or for any other reason.
viii. System/ Network Congestion
a. Trading on the Exchange is in electronic mode, based on satellite/ leased line communications, combination of technologies and
computer systems to place and route orders. Thus, there exists a possibility of communication failure or system problems or slow or
delayed response from system or trading halt, or any such other problem/glitch whereby not being able to establish access to the trading
system/network, which may be beyond the control of and may result in delay in processing or not processing buy or sell orders either in
part or in full. You are cautioned to note that although these problems may be temporary in nature, but when you have outstanding open
positions or unexecuted orders, these represent a risk because of your obligations to settle all executed transactions.
2. As far as Futures Commodity Derivatives are concerned, please note and get yourself acquainted with the following additional features:-
2.1 Effect of “Leverage” or “Gearing”:
a. The amount of margin is small relative to the value of the commodity derivatives contract so the transactions are ‘leveraged’ or ‘geared’.
Commodity Derivatives trading, which is conducted with a relatively small amount of margin, provides the possibility of great profit or loss
in comparison with the principal investment amount. But transactions in commodity derivatives carry a high degree of risk. You should
therefore completely understand the following statements before actually trading in commodity derivatives contracts and also trade with
caution while taking into account one’s circumstances, financial resources, etc.
b. Trading in Futures Commodity Derivatives involves daily settlement of all positions. Every day the open positions are marked to market
based on the closing price. If the closing price has moved against you, you will be required to deposit the amount of loss (notional)
resulting from such movement. This margin will have to be paid within a stipulated time frame, generally before commencement of trading
on the next day.
c. If you fail to deposit the additional margin by the deadline or if an outstanding debt occurs in your account, the Member of the Exchange
may liquidate/square-up a part of or the whole position. In this case, you will be liable for any losses incurred due to such square-up/
Close Outs.
d. Under certain market conditions, an Investor may find it difficult or impossible to execute the transactions. For example, this situation can

2
 occur due to factors such as illiquidity i.e. when there are insufficient bids or offers or suspension of trading due to price limit or circuit
breakers etc.
e. Steps, such as, changes in the margin rate, increase in the cash margin rate etc. may be adopted in order to maintain market stability.
These new measures may be applied to the existing open interests. In such conditions, you will be required to put up additional margins or
reduce your positions.
f. You must ask your Member of the Exchange to provide the full details of the commodity derivatives contracts you plan to trade i.e. the
contract specifications and the associated obligations.
3. TRADING THROUGH WIRELESS TECHNOLOGY OR ANY OTHER TECHNOLOGY:
Any additional provisions defining the features, risks, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities associated with commodities trading through
wireless technology or any other technology should be brought to the notice of the client by the member.
4. General
i. Deposited cash and property:
You should familiarize yourself with the protections accorded to the money or other property you deposit particularly in the event of a firm
become insolvent or bankrupt. The extent to which you may recover your money or property may be governed by specific legislation or
local rules. In some jurisdictions, property, which has been specifically identifiable as your own, will be pro-rated in the same manner as
cash for purposes of distribution in the event of a shortfall. In case of any dispute with the Member of the Exchange, the same shall be
subject to arbitration as per the Rules, Bye-laws and Business Rules of the Exchange.
ii. Commission and other charges:
Before you begin to trade, you should obtain a clear explanation of all commissions, fees and other charges for which you will be liable.
These charges will affect your net profit (if any) or increase your loss.
iii. For rights and obligations of the Members/Authorised Persons/ clients, please refer to Annexure 3

 (TO BE HANDED OVER TO CLIENT)
POLICY AND PROCEDURES
Sharekhan as a SEBI registered intermediary is mandated to follow the rules, regulations, circulars of the exchanges and SEBI issued from time and
operates through well defined procedures and policies. The following policies have been mandated by SEBI to be made available to the clients. It
should not be construed that these are the only policies followed by Sharekhan.
(A) Refusal of orders for Penny Stocks
Penny stocks are scrips which have a very low value and may or may not be illiquid. Most times there would be very few buyers /sellers for such
scrips. The exchange (NSE & BSE) releases a list of such scrips and they are termed as illiquid securities. Sharekhan retains the right to term a
particular scrip as illiquid/penny stock based on the parameters it deems fit. These parameters may include, the past volume of the scrip, the
volatility in the scrip among others, whether trading in a particular scrip falls within the purview of fraudulent trades or trades deemed to be
fraudulent under the SEBI - prohibition of fraudulent and unfair trade practices relating to securities market regulation 2003.
Sharekhan reserves the right to facilitate clients for placing orders with regards to the penny stocks or illiquid scrips as described above.
Sharekhan is not under any obligation to push orders which are in the nature of penny stocks/ illiquid scrips. Sharekhan does not encourage
trades in penny stock. Sharekhan may permit trades in a penny or illiquid scrip subject to certain conditions, such conditions may include

transaction, the scrip will necessarily be transferred to pool account prior to placing the sale order at discretion of Sharekhan Ltd. The client
hereby authorizes Sharekhan to pledge the scrip with the respective Clearing Corporation.
- Assessment of the past trading pattern or records of the client prior to giving permission.
- Conducting in person verification of the said client to establish the genuineness of the intended trade.
Sharekhan reserves the right to refuse to place such orders whether or not the client fulfills the aforementioned conditions.
(B) Setting up Client's exposure Limits
Exposure is allowed to the clients based on the margin available in form of funds or approved securities valued after deducting an appropriate
haircut. Client is liable to pay applicable initial margins, withholding margins, special margins, delivery margin or such other margins as are
considered necessary by the Exchange. Margin would be applicable on Buy and Sell trades.
Further Sharekhan at it's discretion may collect such additional margin or may further reduce the margin subject to extant regulations. Clients
are supposed to maintain sufficient balance with Sharekhan pre trade depending on the channel through which they trade. Sharekhan may
levy additional margins or relax the margins earlier imposed based on factors such as, client level positions, volatility in a particular
stock/commodity or the market in general. Though it shall be our endeavor to ensure that a proper notice is sent to the clients, this may not
always be possible taking into consideration the market scenario. Exposure allowed to clients may vary, basis the clients past trading
performance, quality of collateral, market circumstances and dynamics and other such factors. In case the client is providing collateral in the
form of approved securities as margin, a margin pledge shall be initiated by the client in favour of Sharekhan through physical or electronic
instruction mechanism provided by the Depositories. Where the client has given Demat Debit and Pledge Instruction in favour of Sharekhan,
the margin pledge shall be initiated by Sharekhan on behalf of the client. The margin pledge will be initiated as per the process defined by the
Depositories / SEBI / Exchanges,

of Sharekhan. Client will have to enter an OTP received on Email id and /or Mobile number within the prescribed timeline to confirm pledge in
favour of Sharekhan. The limit for trading on pledge securities will be given to client on best effort basis only post confirmation of creation of
pledge in favour of Sharekhan. Sharekhan will not be responsible for any delay or non receipt of link / OTP from depositors for creation of
pledge or non confirmation of pledge request by the client.
Sharekhan shall reserves rights to allow pledging of only selected securities at its own discretion. The trade limits on pledge securities shall be
given after applying appropriate hair cut. Sharekhan shall not be responsible for delay if any, in pledging or un-pledging of client securities due
to technical or any other issue at depository (NSDL / CDSL) as well as at Sharekhan end. Client shall ensure that correct Email and Mobile
number is updated with Sharekhan at all the times so that, client can receive link and OTP for creation of pledge.
Sharekhan shall reserves rights to re-pledge the securities to the Clearing Corporations. In case the client defaults Sharekhan and/or the
Clearing Corporations shall be entitled to invoke securities pledged by the client.

which allows the Client to take positions by providing prescribed margin and the balance amount is funded by Sharekhan to meet the pay-in
obligation of the Client. Client can later take delivery either by making the necessary funds settlement or square up such positions. The Client

form as specified by Sharekhan. The balance obligation would be funded by Sharekhan and will be paid to the Stock Exchanges for meeting the
Client's pay-in obligation.
1. Eligibility for Availing of Margin Trading facility
All registered trading Clients of Sharekhan shall be eligible to avail the MTF subject to the applicable Rules, regulations and circulars
from SEBI / Exchanges and acceptance of terms and conditions of the said facility.
2. Consent of the Client

The Client understands that SEBI/Stock Exchanges have prescribed securities which are eligible to be offered in MTF. Hence, MTF shall
not be offered in all the securities traded on Stock Exchanges. The Client agrees that Sharekhan shall have the discretion to select
securities that will be enabled for trading under the facility as per its internal risk management policy and the number of stocks enabled
for trading under MTF which can be smaller than the number of stocks allowed by SEBI/Stock Exchanges.
4. Margin Requirements and Pledge / Re-pledge process
In order to avail margin trading facility, margin payable by the Client to Sharekhan shall be in the form of cash, cash equivalent or pledge
of equity shares, with appropriate hair cut as specified by SEBI/Stock Exchanges from time to time.
Sharekhan may at its sole and absolute discretion may prescribe higher margin requirement than prescribed by SEBI/ Stock Exchanges
for collection from the Client. Further, Sharekhan may also from time to time at its sole discretion charge higher rate of hair cut than
prescribed by SEBI/Stock Exchanges on the securities provided as collaterals by the Client. If no sufficient margin available in the Client's
MTF account, then trade will not be considered at all under MTF or will be considered only to the extent of available margin.
In case of increase in the value of Collaterals, further exposure may be granted to the Client subject to applicable haircuts and in lines
with the Risk Management policy of the company. However, no such exposure shall be permitted on the increased value of funded
stocks.
As per the SEBI circular on margin requirement, Sharekhan can accept margin through Pledge process in the depository system for all
funding under MTF i.e Funded stocks as well as Collateral provided against funded stocks, shall also required to be Pledged in favour of
Sharekhan Ltd.
In order to comply with above requirement, Sharekhan will be transferring funded stocks on Trade day (T) + 2 day (post receiving
payout from the Exchange) to mapped demat account of the client with Sharekhan. Client has to provide pledge confirmation for all
1
41
 funded stocks through the OTP authentication mechanism till 12.00 pm (Noon) on T + 2 day or within the timeline as prescribed by
Sharekhan from time to time.
In case, client fails to confirm the pledge within the above timeline then Sharekhan will be transferring debit of MTF ledger to the extent of
non- confirmation of pledge request to Broking ledger of client. The stocks received thereafter in payout will be transferred either to
CUSA account (in case of nonpayment) or client demat account as the case may be. In case client does not clear debit balance in broking
ledger within the prescribed timeline then Sharekhan reserves rights to square off as per Risk management framework of Sharekhan.
Similarly, collateral stocks given by client against funded stocks shall also required to be pledged in favour of Sharekhan in advance
before availing funding under MTF or as and when margin is given in the form of collateral by clients against open funded stocks.
Further, in case of payout shortage of funded stocks received from Exchange on T +2 day, funding under EMF will be reversed from EMF
ledger and necessary entry will be passed in Broking ledger of client. The stocks received thereafter in payout through auction
mechanism will be transferred either to CUSA account (for nonpayment) or client demat account as the case may be. In case client does
not clear Debit balance of broking ledger within the prescribed timeline then Sharekhan reserves rights to square off as per Risk
management framework of Sharekhan.
Sharekhan shall reserves rights to allow pledging of only selected securities at its own discretion. The trade limits on pledged collateral
securities shall be given after applying appropriate hair- cut. Sharekhan shall not be responsible for delay if any, in pledging or un-
pledging of client securities due to technical or any other issues at the depository end (NSDL / CDSL) as well as at Sharekhan end. Client
shall ensure that correct Email and Mobile number is updated with Sharekhan at all the times so that, client can receive link and OTP for
creation of pledge provided by depositories.
Sharekhan shall reserves rights to re-pledge the securities to the Clearing Corporations as prescribed by Regulator / Exchanges from
time to time. In case the client defaults Sharekhan and/or the Clearing Corporations shall be entitled to invoke securities pledged by the
client.
5. Margin call and Liquidation of securities by the broker in case of default by the Client.
The margin requirement of Client may be changed due to factors such as market volatility, negative news, risk management policy of
Sharekhan, etc. The margin calls will be made to the Client in case margin short fall exceeds margin required for continues period of 10
trading days as per RMS policy or margin shortfall as per SEBI / Stock Exchange prescribed margin whichever is earlier. The margin calls
will be promptly made to the Client through any one or more means or methods such as by displaying in the Client's login or any other
applicable mode or manner.
The Client shall monitor margin shortfall as required from time to time, and whether or not any margin call is made or such other separate
communication to that effect is sent by Sharekhan to the Client and /or whether or not such communication is received by the Client to
avoid any liquidation.
Sharekhan may sell the securities or liquidate the existing position of a Client in full / partial if the available margin falls short of minimum
prescribed margin as specified by SEBI / Stock Exchanges / Sharekhan. In case of any shortfall in the margin or debit remains even after
liquidating the open position, or liquidating the collaterals provided by Client, Sharekhan may liquidate the shares lying in the Clients
demat account or its beneficiary account to recover the outstanding dues.
The securities may be liquidated even in case the Client's deposit in the margin account (after adjustment for mark to market losses) falls
below such determined percentage of the latest market value of the securities, in the interregnum between making of the margin call
and receipt of payment from the Client, as determined by the Risk Management policy of Sharekhan and , prevailing market
conditions or such other factors requiring immediate action.
SEBI/ Stock Exchanges have specified category of securities which are eligible to be accepted as collateral towards MTF by the stock
broker. The Client agrees that if specific stock given by the Client towards collateral moves out of the eligible list of securities, then the
limit given against such stock shall be withdrawn by Sharekhan immediately. In view of the same, MTF open positions of the Client may
get squared off if sufficient additional margin is not replenished by the Client. Client agrees that Sharekhan reserves the right to decide
the securities which it may accept as margin from Clients.
The Client agrees that Sharekhan may at its sole discretion, change the margin requirement on the transactions, in which the Client has
taken or proposes to take positions depending on its own risk mitigation measures and without intimating or consulting the Client. Due to
increased volatility in the prices, the margin requirement may be increased and in such event the Client undertakes to provide additional
funds/securities to continue with the open position. If such Margin requirement is not met, the position may be squared off by Sharekhan

2
42
 due to insufficient Margin. The Client undertakes to maintain sufficient margin to safeguard the open position from being squared off.
Any and all losses (actual or notional), financial charges, damages on account of such liquidation shall be binding and borne by the Client
only.
Not with standing the fact that Sharekhan may have prescribed higher margin requirement, if the margin available in the Clients
accounts is sufficient to meet the margin requirement prescribed by SEBI / Stock Exchanges for collecting from the Clients, then
Sharekhan, at its sole and absolute discretion, may allow the Client to take further position and / or continue with the existing position of
the Client as per SEBI / Stock Exchanges prescribed margin requirement.

required Margin shall be re-calculated and excess margin, if any, shall be released or additional margin needed, if any, will be
