    A
    If the price increases and the order value exceeds the amount of funds transferred through auto-debit, the order will still be placed provided the margin in your account is sufficient to place the order.

Ideally the amount to be auto-debited from the bank would be Rs.10000 but the instruction was for only Rs. 7000, the order will still go through as the margin requirement for the order is only Rs.2000. Please note that excess funds of Rs. 3000(Rs.10000-Rs.7000) will still have to be transferred by the client.
