What collateral types are accepted at FYERS for margins

At FYERS, you can pledge approved securities to generate collateral margin for trading. There are specific rules on which instruments qualify and how collateral can be used.

Using collateral margin

  • Not allowed for stock delivery (CNC): Collateral margin cannot be used to buy equities for overnight delivery in the Cash N Carry (CNC) segment.
  • Allowed for intraday equities: You may use collateral margin for intraday stock trades.
  • Allowed for derivatives: You can use collateral margin for overnight positions in futures (buy & sell) and for option writing (selling).
  • Not allowed for option buying: Buying options requires 100% cash; collateral margin cannot be used.

Accepted collateral types

FYERS does not currently accept Fixed Deposits (FDs) for pledging due to operational and reconciliation constraints. This may be reconsidered in the future.

Instead, you can pledge a wide range of exchange-approved instruments, such as:

  • Approved equities (stocks)
  • Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs)
  • Government securities (G-Secs)
  • Liquid mutual funds
  • Money market instruments
