Your WazirX INR balance may temporarily become negative due to trading fee deductions. This can happen when you use your entire available balance to place a trade.
Why Is My INR Balance Negative?
WazirX deducts applicable trading fees after a trade is executed, not when you place the order.
If your remaining INR balance is insufficient to cover the trading fee, your wallet may temporarily show a negative balance equivalent to the outstanding fee amount.
Example:
| Details | What Happens |
|---|---|
| Available INR Balance | ₹10,000 |
| Buy Order | You use the entire ₹10,000 to buy BTC. |
| Trading Fee Deduction | The applicable trading fee is deducted after the order is executed. |
| Resulting INR Balance | Since no INR remains, the outstanding trading fee appears as a negative balance. |
How Will My Negative INR Balance Be Settled?
Your negative INR balance will be automatically adjusted when you:
- Complete your next sell order in an INR market, or
- Make your next INR deposit.
No additional action is required from your side.
