I have few stocks in my demat account with ICICI which I like to pledge as margin for options.

a. Is this possible  
b. If yes then what is the haircut and also the list of securities.

I am a Zerodha member and hence would like to get details on the same.

Regards  
Ramalingam

Hey @Ramsada71

You can pledge stocks in your Zerodha Demat account for margins to trade in F&O. Check [this](https://support.zerodha.com/category/q-backoffice/portfolio/articles/what-is-pledging) out for more information.

You will not be allowed to pledge shares in non-Zerodha Demat accounts.
