Kite order quantity and value limits: the 1,00,000 quantity cap and the Rs 10 crore value cap

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

Kite order quantity and value limits are the two ceilings Zerodha enforces on the size of a single order: a quantity cap of 1,00,000 shares per equity order, with the exchange freeze quantity standing in for derivatives, and a value cap of Rs 10 crore per order in the equity segment. The quantity cap is partly an exchange market-integrity rule and partly a Zerodha rule about order types; the value cap is a Zerodha risk-management policy. An order that breaches either is rejected before it can fill, and the fix in both cases is to split the order into smaller pieces.
