What are pledge and unpledge charges and where to check that on FYERS?
Pledging in FYERS lets you unlock collateral margin from your existing holdings without selling them.
The pledged value (after haircut) can be used for trading in derivatives or to meet margin requirements.
You can later unpledge your holdings when you no longer need collateral margin.
