  10. Do I need to transfer funds for placing an RSP Insure Request?

    No. An RSP Insure Request is merely an authorization given to RSL to place BUY orders in your account as per your instructions; hence funds are not required or used when you place a request. However, it is advisable to maintain funds in the ledger.

    Your funds will be used at the time of placing actual RSP Insure orders in the market on a trading day. You can also sign up an ECS mandate for your RSP Insure orders and then the monthly investment amount will be directly debited from your bank account on the specified date.

    You need to transfer/depsit the money for RSP Insure activation fees, other than regular stock purchase transactions.

  11. If I place RSP Insure request, will my ledger balance be blocked for the full tenure?

    No, your ledger balance will not be blocked. Your funds in ledger will be used at the time of placing actual RSP Insure orders in the market on the specified dates.

    For example: if you have an RSP Insure to invest Rs 5000 monthly with the order placement date as 15th of every month. Then on the 15th of every month your ledger balance will be checked and depending on the availability of Rs 5000 free balance your RSP Insure order will be placed into the market.

  12. If my RSP Insure orders are rejected due to insufficient balance, will my Insurance Cover remain active?

    No, in case of two consecutive or four separate RSP Order failures during the tenure due to insufficient ledger balance, the RSP Insure cover will be terminated. However pending RSP orders will be active and will pushed into the market on schedule dates.

  13. What will happen if market price of my selected stock/ETF goes above my monthly RSP Inure Amount? Will my Insurance Cover remain active?

    If market price of the stock goes above the monthly amount, you need to increase your monthly RSP Insure Amount. Your insurance cover will also increase effective from next month onwards.

    If you don’t increase your Monthly RSP insure amount, your order will not be traded. In such case that month’s amount will be carried forward to next month and thus next month order will be processed for double amount.

    For eg; You have an RSP Insure of RS 3000 for Infosys and the shares price goes upto Rs 3200. You are required to increase your monthly RSP Insure amount. If you fail to do so, then that month order will not be placed and the amount will be carried forward to the next month. Hence your next month’s RSP Insure order will be processed for Rs 6000 (Rs 3000 for current month + Rs 3000 for previous month). Here you will be required to keep the unutilized amount in your trading account to ensure that the next month’s order is placed for double amount.

    If your RSP Insure orders are not placed due to the share price is more than the monthly amount then this will be considered as rejection due to insufficient ledger balance. The amount will be carried forward to the next month & if on the order placement date order gets rejected due to insufficient funds in your ledger (Previous month balance amount + this month amount), this will be considered as rejection due to insufficient funds.

    If two consecutive or four separate RSP Order failures during the tenure due to insufficient ledger balance, the RSP Insurance cover will be terminated. However pending RSP orders will be active and will pushed into the market on schedule dates.

  14. Can I place RSP Insure request for any stock?

    No, RSP Insure Request can be placed only in the selected stocks, ETF (Exchange Traded Funds) and MF (Mutual Fund) units through exchange platforms (NSE- MFSS & BSE- StAR MF) mentioned in the RSP Insure scrip basket.

  15. Where can I view the RSP Insure Stock List?

    The list can also be viewed post login on the RSP Insure Request page through ‘Search RSP Insure Stock’ button once your RSP Insure Subscription is activated.

    Note: RSL may include or exclude any stock from the RSP Insure Stock list at any time without any prior intimation. However, RSP Insure request already placed in any discontinued stock will remain active for the specified tenure.

  16. Can I place RSP Insure request in Future and Options?

    No, RSP Insure request can be placed only in Cash segment.

  17. Do I need to login to my trading account on every RSP Insure date to place the RSP Insure orders?

    No. Once you have placed your RSP Insure requests, RSL will place the RSP Insure buy orders on your behalf as per your RSP Insure schedule for the stock. You need NOT login to your account every time to purchase the shares

  18. When will my RSP Insure Investment starts after placing the request.

    RSP Insure is a monthly investment plan; and we have defined four dates 7th, 15th, 22nd and 28th. Hence your RSP Plan order will start from the nearest RSP Insure Start Date after RSP Insure request placement.


    For example: If your RSP Insure request is placed on 12th of September, then your first RSP order will be placed on 15th September. If request is placed on 15th, then your first order will be placed on 22nd.

  19. At what time RSP Insure order will be placed?

    Your RSP Insure order will be placed into market between 9:30 AM to 10:00 AM.


    Note: Client’s orders under the scheme will be placed during 09:30 AM to 10:00 AM in the market hours on the scheduled order date on best effort basis; however the order placement time may change due to system failure or any other reason. In such circumstances RSL should not be held responsible or liable for any actions, claims, demands, losses, damages, costs, charges, and expenses which client may suffer, sustain, or incur due to change in order placement time or non placement of the order.

  20. How the no. of shares will be calculated out of my monthly RSP Insure amount?

    RSP Insure is an amount based plan wherein the monthly investment amount specified by you (or approximately the same) is invested in your desired stock/ETF/MF on the scheduled date every month

    At the time of placement of your RSP Insure order, since quantity of shares has to be specified, the same will be calculated by dividing the RSP Insure monthly amount specified by you with the previous day’s closing price of the stock plus 5% of the closing price.


    The formula would be:

    Quantity = RSP Insure Amount / (Previous Day’s Closing Price + 5% of Closing Price)

    Any fractional quantity will be ignored and order will be placed for the balance quantity. The actual order value would be based on the market price for the quantity so calculated above.

    To calculate the no. of shares to be purchased based on the last closing price, 5% will be added to the closing price

    For Example: If closing price of ABB is Rs 800 and RSP Insure request is placed for Rs 5000. Though as per previous day’s closing price, RSP Insure order should be placed for 6 (Rs 5000/800 = 6.25) shares, however in this case order will be placed for 5 shares (500/840 = 5.95) only, because adding 5% to the closing price will amount to Rs 840 (800+5%), to ensure that the RSP Insure order does not go above the specified amount.

    However, in case of very volatile movement in the stock the actual RSP Insure amount may go up marginally above the specified RSP Insure amount due to the reason that the quantity is calculated based on previous day’s closing price and the order is executed at the current market price.

    Since quantity of shares to be purchased for each order will be calculated out of RSP Insure Monthly Amount as per above formula and any fractional quantity will be ignored, hence the traded value may be less than the defined monthly amount. Remaining balance amount will be carried forward to the remaining balance.

    For eg, you have a monthly RSP Insure plan of Rs 5000 for ACC. Your first order has been executed for 4 ACC at the rate of Rs 1200, hence your trade value will be Rs 4800, hence the balance Rs 200 will be added to the next order and your next order will be processed for Rs 5200. Thus the remaining balance of each month will be carried forward to the next month and in this way the next month order amount will be sum total of monthly amount and previous month’s remaining balance.

    You should keep the unutilized RSP insure amount in the trading account to ensure the availability of sufficient fund for next month’s order as the remaining balance of previous month is added in the RSP Insure order amount.

  21. Can I place multiple RSP Insure request?

    Yes, once your RSP Insure facility is activated, you can place multiple RSP Insure request online or through CNT/Branch/Franchisee in same or different stocks, however your total RSP Insure Cover amount cannot go above RS, 10 lacs at any point of time.



  22. What happens if my RSP Insure order placement date falls on a trading holiday?

    In case the defined RSP Insure order placement date falls on a trading holiday, then the order will be placed on subsequent trading day.



  23. At what price will my RSP Insure orders be placed and where can I see the details of the same?

    All RSP Insure orders will be placed as market orders. Once your RSP Insure order is executed successfully the same will reflect in your RSP Insure Summary page with the traded price.



  24. What happens if I do not have sufficient ledger balance?

    If you do not have sufficient free ledger balance as required to place your RSP Insure order, your RSP Insure order for that date will fail which will be displayed in RSP Insure summary page as failed order.
    This month amount will be carried forward to next month.



  25. Is there a possibility that my entire RSP Insure order may not be executed at the exchange?

    Yes. Reliance Securities Ltd. is merely your agent for placing orders as per the instructions given by you under the facility. RSL does not have any role to play in the execution of trades after the orders have been placed. Trade execution takes place at the exchange platform as per the order matching rules of the exchange. Thus there is a possibility that orders may be executed only partially or may not be executed at all; as is the case with normal cash transactions as well.

     

    If any RSP Insure order fails due to any reason, the same order will not be attempted again or will not be clubbed with any future orders irrespective of the sufficient ledger balance. The balance amount will be carried forward to the next month & will be added in the monthly RSP insure amount.

    However your remaining future RSP Insure orders will be active and will be placed for execution on the scheduled dates.
