Fund withdrawal requests are processed at designated cut-off times. If a request is made before the cut-off time, the funds are generally credited to the bank account within 24 hours from the cut-off time. However, if the request is made after the cut-off time, it can take an additional working day (up to 48 hours in total) for the funds to be credited to the bank account. To know the cut-off times, see How much time does it take to process a withdrawal request?

The funds section on the Kite app includes

  • Opening balance : This is the cash available in the trading account at the beginning of the day.
  • Payin : The funds added to the account during the day reflect as the payin balance.
  • Payout : The amount that is processed for withdrawal reflects in the payout column.
  • SPAN : This is a part of the amount blocked for the F&O trades. Exchanges use Standard Portfolio Analysis of Risk (SPAN) to calculate risk and margins for F&O portfolios.
  • Delivery margin : This is the margin blocked while selling securities (20% of the value of stocks sold) from demat or T1 holdings. As per the peak margin norms, only 80% of credit from selling holdings will be available for new trades. The funds blocked under this field will be available from the next trading day. The delivery margin also includes an additional margin blocked if there are any F&O positions due for physical delivery.
  • Exposure : The exchanges charge the exposure margin over and above the SPAN margin to cover risks that the SPAN margin may not cover.
  • Option premium : The total amount paid to purchase options. This value will be negative if the funds are received for shorting or writing options.
  • Collateral (liquid funds) : This column shows the amount received from pledging Liquidbees ETFs or liquid mutual funds and can be used for trading purposes.
  • Collateral (equity) : This column displays the amount received from pledging shares or ETFs and can be used for trading purposes.
  • Total collateral : This is the sum total of liquid funds and equity collateral.

This code replaces the PIN-based login method and eliminates the need for a third-party TOTP app. Each code remains valid for 30 seconds, after which a new code is automatically generated.
