CNC In Zerodha Kite

CNC is the delivery-based trades wherein you hold a particular stock or indices for some period of time. This is preferred by those traders who wish to invest and not immediately sell-off their shares.

Cash and carry, therefore, is a product code applied on delivery trades – both “buy” as well as “sell”. In simple terms, once you specify your buy or sell order as “CNC”, it will neither be auto squared off nor will provide any leverage.

It is meant for the stocks for long term investment where a particular stock is held with the trader for a long time before he/she actually sells it. 

If you mark your Zerodha order (buy or sell) CNC and exit the open position on the same day, it will be treated as an order for intraday trading.
