With Bajaj Broking, you can open and activate an F&O trading account online through a structured and digital process. This blog explains how F&O activation works, the steps involved, required documents, and applicable charges.
Understanding F&O Segment Activation
F&O trading is not enabled by default in a standard trading account. It requires separate activation because it involves higher risk and regulatory requirements. Before activation, the platform typically checks:
● Your KYC details
● Income proof to assess eligibility
● Acceptance of risk disclosure documents
F&O includes the following.
Futures contracts: Agreements to buy or sell an asset at a future date at a fixed price.
Options contracts: Rights (not obligations) to buy or sell at a predetermined price
Since these are leveraged products, proper verification is required before activation.
