Thank you for replying quickly despite it being a sunday and working from home due to the current situation.

easiest allows both trusted account & account of choice transfers
You can pledge to a broker if you have an arrangement with the broker that he’s going to give you margins against such pleldge, at Zerodha we don’t. We pledge all securities to Clearing Corporation after moving them from the client’s demat account to our collateral account (collateral account is permitted by the Exchanges to be opened for this specific purpose)
Choose the right broker
After the Karvy episode, SEBI has barred brokers from pledging client securities with NBFCs.
Thanks again…
- Yeah I know easiest can be used to transfer to both trusted account as well as account of choice. But I only have set up for trusted account. Only trusted account I have is my broker. In that context I have two options …either use pledge option or use off market sale. Now question is if I use pledge option …does that mean shares are actually transferred to broker or it still stays in my demat just marked as pledged ? I know if I choose off market sale …it actually transfer to his collateral account. (I have done that…I have not pledged)
2.Good thing that now no broker can pledge to NBFC …but only to NSCClL …but when a broker for example Zerodha pledges to NSCCL and get a loan for a client…why there is no interest …Nithin said when you pledge to NSCCL there is no interest …
Shares sit in your account with lien marked to pledgee
It’s not a loan, its just margin. You can’t withdraw it, you can use it to take derivative positions.
I’ve explained margins vs cash here.

Hi Venu Can u Advise How to use FDR as collateral and also list of banks which zerodha approves for FDR. Nse India clearly states FDR can be used as collateral margin for f&o trading and also have provided list of banks and the letter formats . How Do I get this sorted .

Does 50% margin rule apply to cash equivalent collateral as well?
- Say, I have pledged 5 lac worth of Liquid bees(cash equivalent), now can I take the position on F&O for 5 Lac or it is limited to only 2.5 lac?
- In the above case if there is a MTM loss of 25k will that be adjusted by selling 25k worth of liquid bees? in order to avoid this can I keep only cash enough for only mtm losses?
- If I take the position for 5 lac, will I be charged interest for 2.5 lac for exceeding the limit? how much(%) is the interest charges?
You can use 100% cash equivalent margin for overnight F&O positions. As this margin received is cash equivalent, there is no 50% restriction.
If you are in loss, the collateral margin you have received cannot be used to settle this. Not having cash in your account will result in your account going in debit balance (on which interest will be charged at 0.05% per day). Your pledged securitues will be squared-off to the extent of debit balance if you fail to add the funds.
So, it’ll be idea to keep some cash balance in your account.
You can use 100% of the collateral margin received from pledging cash equivalent securitues, there will be no interest.
If it is collateral margin received from pledging non-cash equivalent securitues, then the interest is 0.05% per day on the excessive collateral margin you’ll be using.
Investors traders are insured upto Rs.25 lakhs . (as per the Investor Protection Fund of the SEBI) . This includes the money in the trading account, the stocks, shares, securities in the demat holding (including the pledged and non pledged both) .
BUT. my question is :
There are few brokers who provide the margin against the FD pledge lien mortgage collateral .
The question is :
Is the FD also insured , as per the investor protection fund ?
I doubt and asked this question because : for the FD , the broker acts as a NBFC .
So , will my FD be also covered by the Investor protection fund of Rs.25 lakhs , in case of any default by the broker or by the bank itself ?
Post script : the biggest advantage of FD as pledge is : it offers 100% value with zero haircut

The list of securities which can be pledged is approved by the Clearing Corporation. Currently, the Direct Plan for this mutual fund isn’t approved, if and when it is approved by the CC, you’ll be able to pledge.

You said the regular fund is allowed to be pledged and the direct isn’t. I’m asking you to share the regular fund ISIN (that is accepted) and the direct fund ISIN (that isn’t being accepted)
