PRECAUTION WITH RESPECT TO DORMANT ACCOUNTS
All dormant accounts i.e., inactive for 12 months in broking and no debit instruction for 6 months in DP are made inactive in our system. Hence it is not possible to execute a transaction in dormant accounts. However, a client can re-activate his/her/its dormant account by giving us in writing in to activate the account and also stating the reason for keeping the account dormant. For more details refer our Inactive policy for this.
CLOSURE OF CLIENT ACCOUNTS
A client account can be closed either by client or in case of an action initiated by MARKETWOLF. MARKETWOLF at its discretion can initiate closure of a client account in following cases:
- if client fails to meet his obligation within stipulated time;
- if clients fails to provide proper documents as required under applicable rules and regulations even after repeated requests;
- if client is declared fugitive under any law in India or abroad;
- if client is declared insolvent under any law in India or any criminal cases are filed or pending and such information is not disclosed at the time of registration with MARKETWOLF.
On receipt of written request from a client, the compliance team deactivates the client code in its front & back office. On receipt of such request, the account is checked for any outstanding balance either debit or credit. If it is a debit balance, the client is asked to clear it. In case of a credit balance, the same is paid to the client. Similarly, a check is carried out in the settlement department to ascertain:
- the securities lying with us as margin or pending pay-out to the client.
- whether the client has any outstanding position in F&O segment, Currency Derivatives or outstanding pay-in position of securities or a payout from Exchanges in pipeline. In case of any outstanding position, we either let the client pay off the same or wait for the transaction to come to a close so that we can crystallize either the client’s liability for pay-in or our liability to settle the securities due to the client.
- whether any notice issued to the client is pending reply and any liability arises to MARKETWOLF or client as a result of client’s action / inaction for which the notice has been issued. There is a prescribed process sheet, for monitoring the above points before taking a decision whether or not the client’s account can be closed. Once the client is cleared for closure, the client’s account is closed, and an intimation is sent in the format of a letter.
CRF form is marked closed only after proper verification of client’s ledger account & clearance received from accounts department regarding dues & margin. A written communication is also sent to client accompanying closure of his account.

REFUSAL OF ORDERS/RESTRICTIONS ON TRADING IN PENNY STOCKS AND ILLIQUID STOCKS
We define penny stocks as those stocks where the market price is below or close to par, with MARKETWOLF financials being weak with indicators such as loss, accumulated losses, low sales revenue, low or negative net worth, signs of inactivity in MARKETWOLF, which are having very less value. MARKETWOLF may from time to time identify such stocks and put trading restriction on the trades in such penny stocks. In addition to these stocks MARKETWOLF may also include other stocks in the list of restricted stocks such as stocks in Z category, Trade to Trade Settlement or TS category, the scrips which are included in the list of illiquid scrips by the exchange/s or any other scrip which MARKETWOLF deem fit for the purpose of putting trading restriction.
The restriction on above stocks may be as to the price, quantity or mode of placement of orders. Accordingly, MARKETWOLF reserves the right to disable certain scrips for trading on online trading facility/ Authorised Person/branch trading terminals or put quantity or price restrictions while putting trade orders. In such case, client may be allowed to place the trades subject to certain restrictions, through MARKETWOLF’s centralized dealing desk after enhanced due diligence of the orders.
In case of clients using Internet trading facility, they may not find the scrip name or may not be able to place any order in the scrip, if such scrip is one of the restricted scrips. A client can enquire with MARKETWOLF’s dealer or customer service executive about any trading restriction on any scrip.
The above referred restrictions are placed on the trading activities of the client as these stocks are exposed to price rigging and other market manipulative activities. Further, MARKETWOLF as a member of the stock exchanges is expected to have proper surveillance and monitoring mechanism on the trading activities of their clients, particularly on penny and illiquid scrips.
Clients may note that MARKETWOLF shall have right to reject the orders placed by the Client and/or put circuit breakers to discourage trades getting executed at unrealistic prices from the current market price of the security or prohibit the Client from trading in illiquid securities which creates artificial liquidity or manipulates prices or to discourage Client from cross/ synchronized trading and MARKETWOLF shall not be liable for any loss arising out of non-acceptance or rejection of the Client orders for any such reason if the Client fails to give sufficient reason for placing such orders.
SETTING UP CLIENT’S EXPOSURE LIMITS
MARKETWOLF may from time to time at its sole discretion, impose and vary the limits on the orders that client can place through it (including but not limited to exposure limits, turnover limits, limits as to number, value and/kind of securities/ contracts in respect of which buy or sell orders can be placed). MARKETWOLF may need to vary or reduce the limits or impose new limits urgently on the basis of its risk perception and other factors considered relevant and MARKETWOLF will make all necessary attempts to inform clients of such changes.
Further MARKETWOLF may as risk containment measure at any time at its sole discretion and without prior notice, prohibit or restrict the client’s ability to place the orders or trade in all of some of securities/ contracts through member. The exposure limits are generally based on the availability of the margin in the client’s account. Margin may be in the form of funds and /or in the form of securities with MARKETWOLF. The client shall be permitted to trade up to a pre-determined number of times of the margin (the “Multiple”) and the quantum of the Multiple on the margin shall be decided at sole discretion of MARKETWOLF.
MARKETWOLF shall not be responsible for any variation, reduction or imposition or the client’s inability to route any order through the MARKETWOLF website on account of any such variation, reduction or imposition of limits.
APPLICABLE BROKERAGE RATE
Brokerage will be charged to the client based on the brokerage rates specified in the Account Opening Form or as per the product/scheme opted by the client from time to time.

Such changed/reduced brokerage terms will be communicated through the relationship manager/e-mail communication and / or amount will be reflected in the contract notes for future trades. However, any increase in brokerage rate either be done with the consent of the client in writing or at the discretion of MARKETWOLF by giving 15 days advance notice to the client. The brokerage rate shall be within the permissible limit set by SEBI/ Exchanges.
IMPOSITION OF PENALTY/INTEREST ON DELAYED PAYMENT
MARKETWOLF requires all its clients to make the payment towards settlement obligation on or before due date. In case of debit balance in cash segment, penal interest will be levied on the client to deter them from delaying the payment in future. Clients are further required to make payment of margin towards their Derivatives segment exposure. While, MARKETWOLF accepts approved securities as margin, however MARKETWOLF is not the beneficial owner of these securities and hence it is unable to pledge the same onwards to the exchange as margin and has to arrange for own funds/securities for payment of margin to the exchange for positions taken by the clients. Clients are requested to make payment of margin in the form of funds to avoid charging of interest in F&O segment. Accordingly, whenever clients provide securities margin (or there is shortfall in payment of securities margin) instead of margin in the form of funds towards exposure in F&O, MARKETWOLF reserves the right to charge interest on the debit balance lying in F&O segment. No ledger credit will be given for margin paid by the client in the form of securities.
Margins provided by the client in the form of funds shall be interest free and the MARKETWOLF shall not be liable to pay any interest on the same. Any amounts which are overdue from the Client towards trading either in the cash or derivative segments or on account of any other reason to MARKETWOLF will be charged Interest on delayed payment at the rate of 24% p.a. compounded on monthly basis or such other rate as may be determined by MARKETWOLF. MARKETWOLF will directly debit the same to the account of the Client at the end of each month. Further, MARKETWOLF will also debit charges for depository services availed from it to the trading account of clients.
RIGHT TO SELL CLIENTS’ SECURITIES OR CLOSE CLIENTS’ POSITIONS, WITHOUT GIVING NOTICE TO THE CLIENT ON ACCOUNT OF NON-PAYMENT OF CLIENT’S DUES (THIS SHALL BE LIMITED TO SETTLEMENT/ MARGIN OBLIGATION/DEBIT BALANCE OF CLIENT)
Without prejudice to other rights (including the right to refer a matter to arbitration), MARKETWOLF would be entitled to liquidate/close out without any notice all or any of the client’s position for non-payment of margins or other amounts, outstanding debts etc. and adjust the proceeds of such liquidation/close out, if any, against the clients liability/ obligations. Any and all losses and financial charges on account of such liquidation/closing out shall be charged to and borne by the client.
MARKETWOLF shall endeavour to inform the client and give him reasonable time for payment. However, it will be the responsibility of client to track his margins/ obligations by going through margin statements sent to the client on daily basis.,/
The client shall be responsible to track his shortfall daily on real time and clear such shortfall, if any, arising in his account. Notwithstanding hereinabove, MARKETWOLF shall be entitled to liquidate/ close out all or any of the client’s positions without any notice to the client during market hours in case the client fails to provide required margin and/or any other payment or if there is any substantial/complete erosion of margin due to volatility in the market. On substantial/complete erosion of margin due to any reason whatsoever, the decision of MARKETWOLF shall be final and binding on the client. The stock broker may exercise all or any of the above rights in such manner as the stock broker thinks appropriate, without demand for additional margin, security or collateral, or advance notice or advertisement, on any exchange or other market where such business can be transacted, at a public auction or by private sale and the stock broker may be the purchaser / seller for its own account. The giving of any prior demand, call or notice shall not be considered as a waiver of the stockbroker’s right to exercise its rights without any such demand, call or notice. The client agrees that in case of high market volatility, the stockbroker may require the client to pay instantaneous margins in addition to the margins that may have already been paid by the client as per margin calls. The client agrees that the stock broker may be compelled to do so in such circumstances of market volatility, in the absence of the payment of the said instantaneous margins by the client, square-off all or any outstanding positions, prevent any new orders from being placed and / or executed by the client or take such other action as the stock broker thinks fit and proper. The client agrees that the stock broker may in exceptional circumstances be compelled to square-off all or any outstanding margin/ positions or prevent any new orders from being placed and / or executed by the client or take such other action as the stock broker thinks fit and proper, even without calling for the payment by the client, of the aforesaid instantaneous margins by the client.
In case the payment of margin/security is made by the client through a bank instrument, MARKETWOLF shall be at liberty to give the benefit/credit for the same only on completion of bank reconciliation and realization of the fund from the said bank instrument etc., at its absolute discretion. Where the margin/security is made available by way of securities or in any other acceptable form, MARKETWOLF is empowered to decline its acceptance as margin/security and/or to accept it at such reduced value as the stock broker may deem fit by applying haircuts at the rate prescribed by Exchange or by valuing it by marking it to market or by any other method as it may deem fit in its absolute discretion
MARKETWOLF has the right but not obligation, to cancel all pending orders and to sell/close/liquidate all open position/securities/ shares at the pre-defined square off time or when mark to market percentage reaches or crosses stipulated margin percentage, whichever is earlier.

In the event of such square off, the client agrees to bear all the losses based on actual executed prices. The client shall also be solely liable for all and any penalties and charges levied by the exchange(s).

In case of internal shortages on pay in day, MARKETWOLF will endeavor to buy the shares from the market on the pay in day or on the next working day on behalf of the client who has delivered short and deliver the same to the client who has bought them. The client who has delivered short will be debited with the rate at which the shares were purchased or the rate at which the said shares were sold by him, whichever is higher.
