Today I placed an order for 30000 qty of PE of stock X in NOW Mobile. order was accepted. Then I tried to modify the order for 40000 qty. order was rejected with following reason:
Rejection Reason - "RMS:Rule: Order Quantity ,Current:40000, limit set:30000 for entity account-DSxxxx-13906 across exchange across segment across product"
I called up Zerodha support to understand the rejection reason better. The lady told me that maximum order size permissible for stock X is 30000 and it is prescribed bu exchange. So I cannot placr order for 40000. Hence the rejection. I asked her to mail me the stock list with maximum order size. I received the excel file in which to my surprise maximum order size permissible for stock X is 180000. I again called up. this time support person transferred me to a dealer. He said that maximum order size permissible for stock X is 180000 in Zerodha trader (NEST) and Zerodha has put 30000 limit for NOW. I asked him for limit for Stock Y and Z (few stocks which I track and trade). He said 30000 for all scrips on NOW and on NEST limits are as prescribed by exchange.
Then he advised me to switch to NEST as their maximum order size permissible will be more. I said that I mostly trade on mobile and I do not find ZT Mobile as good as NOW Mobile.
Then he said that I would need to move to NEST anyway as Zerodha is completely migrating to NEST.
This is for other readers information as I read few queries on whether Zerodha would continue offering NOW.

About your query,
On NOW, the NOW team sets the order limit and Zerodha has nothing to do with it.. We do keep updating them, but they have some issue where they can't have the size more than 30000 for now..
On ZT since it is our platform, we set it and keep updating as and when lot size goes up or down...
About NOW as a trading platform for our clients, we will continue offering it as long as you our client wants it..
