Using Zerodha - this isn't a broker issue, it's a T+1 settlement cycle requirement. Even if you sell T1 securities in BTST, funds only available T+1. That's why I maintain extra capital buffer. No broker can bypass SEBI rules, stop blaming them.

It's only depends on brokers. Brokers after COVID strictly stick with SEBI rules. Can't do anything, we must load extra in prior to our trading account expecially for FNO segment short term contracts

Maybe brokers could offer an “instant liquidity” option for a small fee. Kind of like an advance on your funds. Convenience for you, reduced risk for them

But bro, let’s be real, brokers are cautious because BTST involves settlement risks. Until they receive the shares you sold, they’re stuck in limbo too. It’s not just about you needing cash faster.

You’re right, the BTST delay feels like an unnecessary speed bump, especially when the whole point of BTST is quick trades

You don't understand the complexity.. BTST is already a privilege (selling without having shares). Settlement needs time for risk checks. Instant settlement needs MASSIVE infrastructure change. Look what happened with Yes Bank's AT1 bonds - settlement delays saved many traders.

Yes, waiting sucks but: Pros of current system: Prevents overtrading Reduces systemic risk Lower broker overhead Cons: Capital blocked Missed opportunities Solution: Get margin trading enabled if you need instant access.

As someone working in risk management - instant settlement is DANGEROUS. What if stock tanks next day? Current T+1 system protects both traders and brokers. Remember Archegos Capital collapse? That's what happens with excessive leverage.
