What are the initial margins for various currency options contracts?

The table below captures the initial margins that you will be required to put in a trade on currency futures of various pairs. The lot size refers to the equivalent of principal currencies. The normal margin is what is applicable in case of normal trading. The Intraday margin or the MIS margin is only for compulsory intraday square off. Such trades have to be necessarily closed out before 4.30 pm else the broker RMS will close out these trades.

As can be seen from the above margin files, the initial margins are among the lowest in case of currency futures compared to commodity futures or even equity F&O trading. That is what makes currency futures attractive for traders.
