  2. The market shall have a five (05) minutes pre-open before its re-opening.
  3. NCCPL shall collect margins including Mark-to-Market losses from its Clearing Members as per its Regulations. Only those BCMs shall be allowed to trade after resumption of trading for that day which have deposited the required margins with NCCPL.

Provided that the market halt shall not be applicable in case KSE-30 index moves beyond 5% during such duration prior to close of the market as specified by the Exchange.

As required under the aforesaid clause, PSX hereby specifies the following time duration in this regard:
