No margin benefits while using Bracket Order

So this thing happened today, I wanted to short SENSEX 80200 CE. But instead of shorting naked calls I want to hedge it using long CE.

I bought SENSEX 81600 CE without any issues but saw this difference while shorting SENSEX 80200 CE.

I get margin benefits while placing an Intraday Limit order (which is expected).

But when placing BO-Limit order for the same option, I do not get any margin benefits.


Why is this so?
