Are margins same across cash and derivatives markets?

Stock market is a complex place with variety of instruments traded on it. As shown above, one single margin for all shares may not be able to handle price uncertainty / risk. In our simple example under question 1, even within cash market, we have seen two types of margins, one at the time of placing the order and another to cover the notional loss.

Shares traded on cash market are settled in two days whereas derivative contracts may have longer time to expiry. Derivative market margins have to address the uncertainty over a longer period.

Therefore, SEBI has prescribed different way to margin cash and derivatives trades taking into consideration unique features of instruments traded on these segments.
