What happens during the ban period for F&O contracts on TradeJini?

During the ban period, F&O contracts for a stock are imposed when the open interest crosses 95% of the Market Wide Positions Limits (MWPL). The ban is lifted only when the open interest falls below 80%. It’s important to note that this restriction doesn’t apply to index F&O contracts.
