Why was my F&O order rejected with the reason "Difference between limit price and trigger price is beyond the permissible range"?


As per NSE regulations, Stoploss Limit orders in the F&O segment are required to be validated based on the difference between the limit price and trigger price. This is applicable to stock and index F&O orders.

Orders that exceed the permissible limit will be rejected by the exchange.
  • The limit is: the absolute difference of Limit Price - Trigger Price > X% * Trigger Price
  • The X% * Trigger Price component is subject to a minimum range
  • The validation is applicable to the placement of Stoploss Limit orders and modification of open Stoploss Limit orders
