What is an Intraday order?

An Intraday order is an order product type wherein any position taken is squared off before the close of trading hours on the same day, and delivery of securities is not taken. In other words, a security is bought and sold on the same day. 
Intraday orders must be closed/squared off or converted by 3:15 p.m. That is, if you buy shares as an intraday order today, you will have to square off your position (sell) before 3:15 p.m.
If you fail to close or convert your position before 3:15 p.m., it will be auto-squared off by Geojit's RMS (Risk Management System).
Intraday orders placed between 3:15- 3:30 p.m. will be rejected. 
Since intraday orders have to be squared off by the end of the day, you will be allowed to execute sell trades for stocks that are not in your holdings (short selling). 
Geojit provides up to 5x leverage (20% margin) for intraday trading. To avail this leverage, the client must select the Intraday product while placing the order. 
This means that with ₹1 lakh as margin, you can buy or sell stocks for intraday trades up to ₹5 lakhs. However, due to peak margin requirements, once a portion of the margin is utilized, it gets blocked. For subsequent trades, only the available balance margin can be used to take new positions. For example, if ₹20,000 margin is already used, only the remaining margin will be available for further intraday trades.
