Margin Floor Requirements for commodity derivatives tied to volatility categorisation and phased implementation mandated. SEBI revises the commodity derivatives margin framework by mandating realised volatility based categorisation of commodities into Low, Medium, and High buckets using three years of daily log returns, with the Lead Exchange's Clearing Corporation to determine categories. Based on category and agri/non agri status, the circular prescribes minimum Initial Margin floors and minimum MPOR values, specifies rollover and review procedures (semi annual reviews, downgrade requiring two consecutive reviews), requires disclosure of margin breakups and volatility, and mandates phased implementation within three months with notification within 15 days.
