9 out of 10 individual traders in the equity Futures and Options segment incurred net losses. On average, loss-makers registered a net trading loss close to ₹50,000, and spent an additional 28% of net trading losses as transaction costs. Those making net trading profits incurred between 15% and 50% of such profits as transaction costs. Source: SEBI study, 25 January 2023.

Yes. Exchanges require income proof before the derivatives segment is enabled. You can submit it during or after account opening.
Margins are prescribed by the exchange and clearing corporation (SPAN plus exposure) and can change with volatility. They are collected up front.
