Why was my sell GTD order rejected?
A sell GTD order is most commonly rejected because you did not have the stock in your demat account, corporate actions are affecting the stock, order validation issues, or other exchange and risk management restrictions.
Here are the most common reasons for your buy GTD order getting rejected:
Rejection Reason | Explanation |
Insufficient Funds / Margin | Available ledger balance is less than the order value at the time of triggering. |
Stock in Trade-to-Trade (T2T) Segment | T2T stocks require full upfront payment; GTD may be rejected if funds are insufficient. |
