How much cash margin should I keep if I have also pledged shares?
You can refer to the following table to understand the cash requirement for each type of trade.
| Segment | Type of transaction | Usage limit per position |
| Equity Intraday | Buy and Sell both | 50% pledged margin & 50% cash |
| Equity& Index Futures | Buy and Sell both (Intraday & Overnight positions) | 50% pledged margin & 50% cash |
| Equity & Index Options | Sell Only(Intraday & Overnight positions) | 50% pledged margin & 50% cash |
Note:
- To avoid delayed payment charges and penalties, please ensure non-cash collateral utilization for margin purposes does not exceed 50% in the case of F&O and always keep some amount in cash for intraday trades to cover any losses in the position.
- You cannot use collateral margin for buying a naked options contract as per exchange rules.
