Margin Rate When you select an interest component, the margin components, if defined for the interest component, are defaulted in the Margin Details section of the ROLLOVER tab. You can amend the margin rate ONLY for those margin components for which the Basis Amount Tag is User Input. The new rate is applied for the rolled over drawdown.

If rollover is performed after Margin Rate amendment, on the same day, then the system applies the margin change for the participants based on the margin maintained for individual participant. Similarly, if forward dated rollover is captured and margin amendment is done before the rollover effective date, margin is applied as part of end of day margin batch. The system considers the margin rates maintained for the individual participants while calculating participant interest.

Remove Rollover Instructions After capturing the rollover instructions for the drawdown, if you do not want to rollover the drawdown, you have the option to remove the instructions maintained. You have to select this option to remove the rollover instructions.
