Can margin be changed during the life of contract?

Yes, margin percentage can be changed during the life of a contract, depending on the volatility in the market. It may so happen that you have taken your position and 25% margin is blocked for the same. However, later on, due to increased volatility in the prices, the margin % is increased to 30%. In that scenario, you will have to allocate additional funds to continue with the open position. Otherwise, your position may get squared-off because of insufficient margin. It is advisable to keep higher allocation to safeguard the open position from such events.

You can check the margin requirements in the Margin Calculator.
