What is the F&O ban?

When open interest in a stock’s futures and options crosses 95% of its market-wide position limit (MWPL), NSE puts it in the ban period: no new positions, only reducing existing ones.

When does a stock leave the ban?

When its open interest falls below 80% of the MWPL. That is why a stock can stay in the ban for several days even after dropping under 95%.

Why traders watch it

Stocks near the ban have crowded positioning. Entering or leaving the ban can bring sharp moves as positions are cut or rebuilt.

From NSE’s end-of-day F&O files (bhavcopy and the MWPL file), published each evening after NSE posts them. Futures OI is summed across expiries so roll-overs do not look like new positions. Information, not investment advice.

Questions

Which stocks are in the F&O ban today?
This page lists the NSE F&O stocks in the ban period for the next trading day, from NSE’s official list, updated every trading evening.
What does MWPL mean?
Market-wide position limit: the maximum open interest allowed across all traders in a stock’s F&O contracts. Above 95% the stock enters the ban; it leaves when open interest falls below 80%.
Can I trade a stock in the F&O ban?
You can reduce or close existing F&O positions, but new positions that increase open interest attract penalties. The stock’s cash market trading is not affected.
