Client margin shortfall penalties enforced for derivatives, with escalating daily charges and sanctions for false reporting and non reporting. Imposes a graduated penalty regime on trading members for short-collection/non-collection of client margins in equity and currency derivatives, with percentage-based penalties on per-client per-segment shortfalls, escalated daily penalties after three consecutive days and additional penalties after five days in a month. Market moves of three percent or more delay penalty application unless shortfall persists to T+2. Non-reporting counts as 100% short-collection; false reporting triggers a penalty equal to the falsely reported amount and one-day segment suspension. Exchanges must collect penalties monthly and credit them to the Investor Protection Fund; SEBI will inspect for compliance.
