What is Margin Trading Facility (MTF)?
Margin Trading Facility (MTF) is a service that allows you to buy shares by only paying a part of the total value upfront, called the initial margin. The remaining amount is funded by FYERS.
For instance, if you want to purchase shares of a company (with 4x leverage) worth ₹4 lakhs but have only ₹1 lakh. In this case, FYERS will fund the remaining ₹3 lakhs, allowing you to complete the purchase. Interest will be charged on the borrowed amount of ₹3 lakh at 18% per annum, which translates to ₹50 per lakh/day. Interest on MTF funding will be levied from settlement to settlement.
