Hello Team,

I would like to seek clarity regarding the non-availability of Nifty 5 Year Benchmark G-Sec ETF and Nifty 5 Year Benchmark G-Sec Funds of Fund (FoF) for pledging as collateral margin for F&O trading on Zerodha TradingQnA / Zerodha.

Currently, the following instruments are not available for pledging to obtain collateral margin for F&O trading on Zerodha:

  1. Nippon India ETF Nifty 5 Yr Benchmark G-Sec

  2. Nippon India ETF Nifty 8–13 Yr G-Sec (Long Term Gilt)

  3. Motilal Oswal Nifty 5 Yr Benchmark G-Sec ETF

  4. ICICI Prudential Nifty 5 Yr Benchmark G-Sec ETF

  5. Motilal Oswal 5 Year G-Sec Fund of Fund

However, I observe that Dhan.co allows pledging of the following instruments for collateral margin in F&O trading:

  1. Nippon India ETF Nifty 5 Yr Benchmark G-Sec

  2. Nippon India ETF Nifty 8–13 Yr G-Sec (Long Term Gilt)

Nifty 5Benchmark G-Sec is a highly liquid instrument.

Please make the above ETFs and related FOFs for pledging for collateral margin in F&O trading.

Looking forward for your clarification.

Thank You.
