How Often Is Interest Charged on MTF Positions?
Interest on Margin Trading Facility (MTF) positions is charged daily but is deducted once every 7 days as a consolidated entry. This means your daily usage is recorded, and the total interest is reflected in your ledger weekly.
How MTF Interest Works
- Daily Charging:
Interest is calculated every day based on your open MTF positions and the applicable rate. To check the slab-wise MTF interest rates, refer to this article. - Weekly Deduction:
The total interest accrued over a 7-day period is deducted from your account in one consolidated debit. - Tracking:
A weekly ledger entry reflects the combined interest charged for the past 7 days.
Tip: Plan your trades and exit timing to stay ahead of interest cycles and keep funding costs low.
What If...
