Why is 'Risk disclosures on derivatives' displayed on every login?

The “Risk disclosures on derivatives” message is displayed at every login to ensure that clients are continuously reminded of the risks associated with trading in the Equity Futures & Options segment. This is a mandatory requirement for clients who are registered in the derivatives segment and appears at every login, regardless of whether the client intends to trade in derivatives during that session. The objective is to reinforce risk awareness and encourage informed trading decisions by keeping clients consistently aware of the potential risks involved.

This requirement has been introduced as per the guidelines issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI).
