What does Margin percentage indicates?

Let's take an example. Let's suppose you wish to buy a Futures contract for USDINR and wish to know how much amount will be blocked from your account initially.

Now, when you browse the given table, you will find the exposure percentage for USDINR is 20%. Assuming the lot size as 1000 and current LTP as 45.0000, the initial margin would be:

Initial Margin = (Lot Size * LTP) * (Initial Margin)

Thus, the initial margin that will be blocked is 9000 Rs. (Brokerage charges ignored).
