Multiple suffixes for NSE symbols in the Instrument Master List - What do they mean?


  • There are a couple of suffixes for NSE symbols, such as "-BL", "-EQ", "-GE" etc. For e.g. "PAGEIND-EQ", and "PAGEIND-BL" both have similar properties in the master list like below

    {
    "token": "14415",
    "symbol": "PAGEIND-BL",
    "name": "PAGEIND",
    "expiry": "",
    "strike": "-1.000000",
    "lotsize": "1",
    "instrumenttype": "",
    "exch_seg": "NSE",
    "tick_size": "5.000000"
    }

    {
    "token": "14413",
    "symbol": "PAGEIND-EQ",
    "name": "PAGEIND",
    "expiry": "",
    "strike": "-1.000000",
    "lotsize": "1",
    "instrumenttype": "",
    "exch_seg": "NSE",
    "tick_size": "5.000000"
    }

    Why do we have two or more entries in the master list for a single NSE symbol?
