Hey @Aswini_Hotta

Welcome to MadeforTrade community!

Over here, for F&O, quantity needs to be a multiple of lot size to place the order. For example, in case of Nifty, the quantity will be 75 or it’s multiples.

Hi @Hardik @Dhan

Thanks for quick response, but I am placing order for future not option security id : 54446 - FINNIFTY-Apr2025-FUT. Please suggest here also I have to pass quantity it’s multiple (Nifty:75, Finnifty: 65) .

Please let me know

@Aswini_Hotta

Be it futures or options you have to specify the quantity as multiple of lot size.

Nifty - 75, Bank Nifty - 30 (soon to be revised to 35), FinNifty - 65 etc
