Smart Order Routing FAQs

How can I get my SOR orders squared off?

Please check your order status before you place your orders through SOR. You must square off the exact same amount bought or sold on a specific exchange.

Example: You have placed a SOR to buy 100 shares of Bank stock and these were purchased as follows.

NSE – 40 BSE 60


You can sell 40 shares of NSE shares and 60 shares of BSE in the above scenario.


Important: SOR doesn't check for previous bought/sold quantities. It is possible that shares could be purchased/sold in different quantities once you square off using SOR
