Futures and Options Trading: Futures and options trading is considered high-risk trading. Recently an incident has attracted people’s attention. This incident has not only raised questions on the strength of the trading system, but has also sparked debate about the accountability of the broker.
According to a report published in TV 9 Bharatvarsha, due to a technical glitch, a margin limit of around Rs 40 crore suddenly started appearing in the account of a trader named Rajguru. This amount was not part of his actual capital, yet due to a flaw in the system he traded in F&O with such a huge limit.
Huge profit made during trading
When Rajguru started trading with this money, the market was not in his favor. Due to market fluctuations, it suffered a loss of about Rs 54 lakh in the first 20 minutes of trading. After this, due to the movement of the market and the changing strategy of the trader, he made a profit of about Rs 2.38 crore in a short time. In this way, his total profit during trading became Rs 1.75 crore.
Dispute over profits after technical mistake
After the glitch in the system came to light, the broker adjusted the margin limit and after deducting brokerage and other charges, transferred the entire profit to his account. Due to which nothing is left in the trader’s account. The trader complained about this to the broker and then to the Investor Grievance Cell of NSE. When the complaint was not resolved, the matter reached NSE Appellate Forum.
Where the decision came in favor of the trader. The forum ordered to return the profit of Rs 1.75 crore and pay 12 percent interest on it. After which NSE deducted about Rs 2.01 crore from the broker’s account. Challenging this decision, the broker company filed a case in the Bombay High Court. On which the court has upheld the decision on December 3, 2025 and has given its verdict in favor of the trader.
