WHAT HAPPENS TO ORDERS DURING CIRCUIT LIMITS?

If a particular stock hits the upper or lower circuits, trading is halted and you cannot place orders until the trading re-opens.

If you have pending orders with the broker at the time of circuit breakers, such orders can be modified or canceled only once the trading re-opens.

Upper circuit: When there are only buyers and no sellers in the market for a particular index or stock

Lower circuit: When there are only sellers and no buyers in the market for a particular index or stock

CIRCUIT LIMITS FOR INDIVIDUAL STOCKS

Stock specific circuit filters are applied on both BSE and NSE exchange. The percentage for circuit filter limit is 2%, 5%, 10%, 20%.
These circuit limits are not applicable to stocks in Futures and options segment For newly listed companies, there is a circuit limit of 20% from the issue price.

Why Your Order Still Pending After Trading Session?

If your order still in the pending state after the starting of the normal trading session, do not panic, keep your order open. When a stock hit in Upper Circuit or Lower Circuit after some time trading resumes. Then there are high chances that your order could be executed when trading resumes.

When there is a lot of panic in a particular stock, and you are sure that stock will hit LC, then it is advisable to place an AMO (After Market Order). AMO will ensure that your order placed as soon as the market pre-open starts.

On Zerodha, you easily place AMO under More Options. If you not sure how to place AMO on your trading platform, please contact them asap.
