Someone close to me and directly related to brokerage business informed me today also, NSE will try to protect their business in Options Segment. Option Segment (buy only using premiums) may skip any such hard rule.
One small retail trader can trade options segment comfortably using last 3 years ITR if the only premium is considered as an exposure. NSE & Brokers are building up pressure since last few days to protect the options segment business.
So, now concentrate on your trade and increase your net-worth as much as possible.
We will get at least a few weeks time also to take appropriate steps ( to prepare net-worth etc) after any type of regulation.
