Can equity holdings be used as collateral margin for commodity trading instead of cash pay in?

5paisa allows this for sure.

since equity and commodity segments are merged now, i hope zerodha is offering this facility now… pl confirm

24

Currently, collateral margin cannot be used for trading in commodities. This feature is in development and will be available soon.

Hi @Pai

can you please share some tentative timelines. I am eagerly looking forward for this feature.

Zerodha team, please update on this, what is the meaning of single ledger, if we are not able to utilize collateral margins from equities to trade commodity derivatives

We have moved to a single ledger system, which means you only need to add funds to the equity segment to trade in commodities. There is no longer a requirement to maintain separate ledgers.
You cannot use equity collateral for MCX orders.

So if I was using my pledged equity holdings 50% & cash/liquidcase 50% for doing Options Selling in Equites, I can now do that it Commodities also without adding additional funds dedicatedly to commodities account?

Hey yeah, we are working on this feature. Will take a few weeks to enable this since there is testing involved. But this is on the to-do. Will update here and on the other thread once we are closer to beta testing. :slight_smile:
