During the F&O ban period, no new positions are permitted for any of the F&O contracts in that stock. The stock exchanges set the MWPL (market-wide position limit), which is the maximum number of contracts that can be open at any moment (Open Interest) thus, the F&O contracts of that stock enter a ban period if the open interest exceeds 95 percent of the MWPL.
