“Makers” provide liquidity to the market by placing orders that might not get filled right away. To encourage this and make the market more liquid, platforms often charge lower fees to makers.

Takers “take” liquidity from the market by executing orders that are already available. Because this doesn’t contribute to the liquidity of the order book, platforms charge higher fees to encourage users to place orders that add liquidity

USDT Deposit & Conversion Fee: Users on Pi42 can transfer their USDT from their wallets into Pi42 and convert it into INR. The conversion will be based on the latest USDT-INR rate we publish, the value of which is market dependent.

While depositing and converting your USDT into INR, there are following fees applicable:
a) Transaction Fee (0.02% per transaction value)
b) GST on Transaction Fee (@18%)
c) 1% TDS (Based on the clauses of IT Act 1961 and applicable rules)

Here is a simple example:
For this example we are assuming user wants to Deposit 100 USDT and the USDT INR rate to be Rs 85


USDT INR Conversion Rate (shown on platform in INR)
Rs 85
Quantity of USDT being deposited100 USDT 
Total Sell Amount (A)Rs 8,500
Transaction Fees (0.02%) (B)Rs 1.70
GST on Transaction Fees @18% (C)Rs 0.306
1% TDS will be applicable on (A-B-C)Rs 8,497.94
Therefore 1% TDS to be deducted (D)Rs 84.97
Total Value that users gets back credited in their INR Wallet (A-B-C-D) =Rs 8413.01


Funding Fees:
The funding fee is exchanged at every 8 hours fixed interval between buyers and sellers of the contract based on the difference between the spot price and the futures contract price to balance the price difference between the spot and the future.

Funding Amounts are calculated using the following formula:
Funding Amount = Nominal Value of Position (of that contract) * Funding Rate (of that contract) 

where,
Nominal Value of Positions = Mark Price * Size of a Contract (for our INR Margined Contracts)

Funding payments generally occur every 8 hours at 05:30am IST, 13:30pm IST, and 21:30pm IST for all Pi42 Futures perpetual contracts. 

Traders are only liable for funding payments in either direction if they have open positions at the pre-specified funding times. You are not liable for any funding if you do not have a position. If you close your position before the funding time, you will not pay or receive any funding.


Liquidation Fees:
Liquidation on the pi42 platform occurs when a trader’s leveraged position is forcefully closed by the exchange due to either a partial or complete loss of the initial margin. This happens when a trader is unable to meet the margin requirements for their leveraged position, indicating a lack of sufficient funds to maintain the trade.

On Pi42 we have to close your position and liquidate it if you don’t maintain the margin required to maintain that position.
A taker fee will be applicable when closing that position forcefully.
Additionally an Insurance clearance fee will also be charged along with the taker fee. 

When liquidation price is hit, we place a market order to close that position. A taker fee is applied.

Bankruptcy price = Entry price – (margin amount/1.01/position quantity)

Maintenance margin price = Bankruptcy price * maintenance margin percentage(0.5%) * long/short position side(1.00)

Liquidation price = Maintenance margin price + Bankruptcy price

Unrealized P&L = (Last Traded Price – Entry Price) * Position size
