Key Facts
- India's trusted financial research platform since 2015. Live IPO GMP, subscription data, allotment status, Rights Issues, NCDs and unbiased stock broker reviews.
- Zerodha offers upto 80% margin of the trade value on MTF eligible stocks. And in return, it charges an interest rate per day, until the MTF positions remain active.
- Zerodha margin facility is available on over 1300 stocks across different sectors.
- Zerodha offers upto 5x leverage on eligible MTF stocks. Means you pay just 20% to buy stocks and remaining 80% is funded by Zerodha.
- MTF is not free – Zerodha charges interest on it. Zerodha margin interest rate is 0.04% (14.6% annual). The interest is charged on the funded value on a daily basis.
- Zerodha MTF interest of 0.04% is applied daily until repayment.
- The MTF interest is charged from T+1 day until the MTF stocks are not sold.
- Zerodha Margin Interest Example: Suppose you place shares worth ₹1,00,000 using MTF. You pay ₹25,000 and Zerodha funds the rest ₹75,000, under MTF.
- MTF Interest: ₹75,000 × 0.04% = ₹30 per day. Suppose you hold MTF positions for 20 days, so the total interest cost will be ₹600.
- In addition, Zerodha MTF auto-square charges are ₹50 per order. Zerodha may square off MTF positions for the following reasons:
- If the loss exceeds 20% of your capital. For example, if you funded ₹20,000 on the MTF order, and your loss exceeds ₹4,000, Zerodha square-off positions proportionately.
- If the loss exceeds 80% of Zerodha's funded amount say if in the above example, Zerodha have funded ₹40,000 and your loss exceeds ₹32,000./li>
- If the loss exceeds 90% of Zerodha's funded amount, then the MTF positions will be converted into CNC (Cash N Carry).
- Currently, Zerodha offers MTF facility only on NSE.
- You will be charged with 0.04% interest on the MTF funded amount, until the time you do not sell MTF shares or convert them into delivery (CNC).
