GTT order limitations and rejection reasons

Sun, 21 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

A GTT (Good Till Triggered) order on Zerodha Kite is a broker-stored conditional instruction that releases a single regular limit order to the exchange when your trigger price is touched, and it is rejected when that released order fails validation, most often for insufficient funds, a freeze-quantity breach, an ineligible or blocked scrip, or an expired contract; because the GTT is not lodged at the exchange and fires only once, it is best-effort rather than guaranteed. The distinction that trips up traders is that a GTT can pass placement-time checks today and still be rejected at trigger time months later, when the funds, eligibility, and exchange limits are re-evaluated. This article documents the instrument-eligibility, quantity, funds, and structural limits, the specific rejection messages, and the reason a GTT should be treated as a convenience layer, not a certainty.
