Hi Nithin/ team zerodha,

Not sure if I m writing my query to correct place or not…just giving a try…

Question as a layman’s term do I need to pledge / unpledge or keep margin in my funds to do trading intraday delivery or btst after this new rule by sebi as we didn’t have to be bothered alll of these till now it seems.
Your reply would be highly appreciated.
Thnk u.

New leverages will come from dec 1st,once peak margin reporting starts.

If you are a fno trader then it would be recommended to pledge and get collateral to trade instead deploying more cash, margin for fno should be in the ratio of 50% cash and 50% collateral. If you are a equity trader then this you can ignore about pledging.

@nithin @siva-reddy can you Explain me Difference Between Leverage and Margin Funding And How margin Funding can be Helpful for retail Trader After SEBI 100%Upfront rules after 1st SEP 2021
Do Reply

so from 1st Dec, conversion of NRML/MIS and vice versa won’t be possible due to peak margin reporting system. till then we can convert and free up margin right?

Conversion will be possible provided you have enough margin.

didn’t get you, margin would’ve been already there as we wish to convert from NRML to MIS to free up some margin to enter other positions, so which enough margin you’re referring to? i’m confused.

Which means the broker can fund for clients to trade in FNO?

Not F&O. Margin funding is allowing customers to buy stocks with leverage for delivery.

@ShubhS9 are margin penalty rate same or they have some changes in that .

Penalty for margin shortfall, right? No changes, the rates are same.

Hi Nithin,
I have a question on BTST. If i do a BTST on futures, still 40% of margin will be blocked on T1 day? or is this 40% rule applicable only for stocks?

@nithin @siva-reddy - I have been trying to pledge my SBIN shares for 3 times and it’s getting cancelled out somehow by your system. After following the steps mentioned in here https://support.zerodha.com/category/console/portfolio/articles/new-pledge - I get the CDSL verification email but on clicking the verification email and providing the PAN card, CDSL system throws out an error “Margin pledge setup is not present for input PAN no.”

I have already tried reaching out to support but they are closing out the support case by simply sharing the link for “how to pledge your shares”. Are you seeing any problems with pledges getting cancelled out?

This is only for stocks, the margin freed from square-off of Futures position can be used without any restriction.

Understood. INtraday profit will be seen after T+2.

But can we utilize the intraday profit on same day.

It is not showing in kite.

If we can’t use use intraday profit on same day does that mean trades profit from one trade cannot compensate loss in another trade on the same day/session ?

Advice quickly. Also whenever I call your contact center , I just hear music rarely does someone picks call. This is a feedback as the sidenote.

You cannot utilize Intraday profit on the same day. You can only use it after settlement happens on T+2, until then it doesn’t reflect in Kite balance but will be shown in closing balance on the Console ledger.

Right, profit in one trade won’t compensate for the loss in another trade.
