4. Risk Management Process - AIM
Margin obligation for members who have limit utilisations in excess of the EL shall be computed by multiplying the applicable net exposure of the member in the spot window by 1/3rd of the margin factor. The applicable net exposure for this purpose shall be higher of:
  the net USD exposure for all the days in the Spot Window and
the net USD exposure in the Spot Window excluding such exposure on Cash Date.
The margin obligation as above in excess of the Initial Margin for the exposure limits availed by the member above will be treated as Additional Initial Margin. 3

Illustration:
Assuming a bank has opted for higher EL and bank’s Net-position for three days in spot window is as follows:
NDC – USD 250 mio
Exposure Limit – USD 200 mio
Margin Factor – 8.25% (2.75% market risk per day)
Initial Margin/SGF - USD mio

(Amt.in USD mio)

the net USD exposure for all the days in the Spot Window and;

6. Risk Management Process - AIM
Illustration (contd.):
The highest net exposure in the above example is USD 800 mio. Thus, the margin requirement for the above position is :
USD 800*2.75% (market risk factor for 1 day) = USD mio.
As the Initial Margin contributed by the bank is USD mio, the balance additional margin requirement of USD 5.50 mio is treated as Additional Initial Margin (AIM). AIM can be in the form of USD in case of excess USD SGF available or can be blocked in rupee terms by blocking unutilized portion of Securities Segment SGF.
