Margin Trading Facility (MTF) allows you to buy stocks by paying only a portion of the trade value upfront while we fund the remaining amount. It helps you take larger delivery positions with limited capital by leveraging approved stocks in your demat account.
How It Works
- You pay an initial margin, which is a percentage of the total stock value.
- We fund the balance as per a slab-wise interest model.
- Stocks are pledged but remain in your demat account in your name.
- Interest is calculated daily and posted to your MTF ledger weekly.
Example
If you want to purchase shares worth ₹4,00,000 and the margin requirement is 25 percent:
- Your margin: ₹1,00,000
- Funded by FYERS: ₹3,00,000
- Applicable slab: ₹1,00,000.01 to ₹10,00,000 → 15.49 percent per year or 0.0424 percent per day
- Daily interest: ₹3,00,000 × 0.0424 percent = ₹127.20
Interest is charged daily and appears in your MTF ledger on a weekly basis. To learn more about rates, refer to this article.
Key Features
- Positions can be held beyond the trading day.
- Only exchange-approved and FYERS-enabled stocks are allowed.
- Interest is charged only on the borrowed amount.
- You can track MTF activity in the Funds & Margin and MTF Ledger sections.
MTF is not available for intraday or F&O trading on FYERS.
