The F&O Ban List, also known as the "Futures and Options Ban List," comprises securities that have specific restrictions imposed by stock exchanges. These restrictions prevent excessive speculation or price manipulation in derivative contracts. When a stock is included in the ban list, traders are prohibited from initiating new positions in futures or options contracts of that particular stock.
