Delivery volume percentage on the Kite marketwatch

Wed, 20 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Delivery volume percentage on a Kite marketwatch scrip row is the share of total day’s volume that resulted in actual delivery to demat accounts, expressed as a percentage. It distinguishes delivery (CNC) trades that result in demat credit from intraday (MIS) trades that are squared off the same day.

How the metric is defined

For any equity scrip on a given trading day, NSE and BSE report:

Total traded quantity. The aggregate of all buy and sell trades, divided by 2.
Deliverable quantity. The subset where the buyer chose CNC (carry to demat) and the seller delivered from holdings.

Delivery volume percentage = (Deliverable quantity / Total traded quantity) x 100.

Leverage for delivery / carry-over positions

Equity delivery (CNC) on Zerodha requires 100% upfront payment, no leverage. F&O NRML (overnight carry) allows SPAN-based leverage. The contrast reflects the different risk profiles of the two product types.

CNC delivery

For equity delivery:

Margin: 100% of notional value.
Leverage: 1x.
Settlement: T+1 (or T+0 for eligible scrips).
Carry: Indefinite (you own the shares).

This is the standard buy-and-hold equity model. Capital is fully deployed.

F&O NRML (overnight carry)

For F&O:

LIQUIDCASE physical delivery rule

Wed, 20 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

LIQUIDCASE ETF settles via physical delivery of units on T+1 (like equity ETFs).

Trade	Settlement
Buy	T+1: Demat credit
Sell	T+1: Demat debit + funds credit
Pledge	Pledge request + CDSL OTP authorisation

Why this matters

Cannot square-off intraday like F&O: Buy gets settled.
Short selling: Same-day short of LIQUIDCASE is allowed only if you have units; otherwise broker rejects.
Auction risk: Selling without holdings may invite exchange auction (rare for liquid ETFs but possible).

For retail holders

The “physical delivery” requirement is benign for hold strategies:

How to convert CNC to MIS on Kite

Tue, 12 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Converting a CNC (Cash and Carry) position to MIS (Margin Intraday Square-off) on Zerodha Kite changes the product code of a same-day buy from a delivery position to an intraday position. This conversion releases the excess margin blocked for full delivery, and makes the position subject to the MIS auto square-off at 3:20 PM IST if it is not manually closed earlier. The conversion is less common than the reverse MIS to CNC conversion but has legitimate use cases, primarily when a trader buys shares as CNC and later decides to exit intraday rather than hold overnight. This guide covers the procedure and important caveats.
