Hello Everyone,
We built ScanX to unwrap markets and showcase the insights from companies, markets, screeners, and much more - from thousands of data points available and help you analyse them and decide what to do next on your investing journey.
We launched ScanX last year as part of Dhan’s product ecosystem, to help Indian traders and investors find stocks, run analyses and execute, all from a single platform. And we have added a range of new data points and insights since then. Along with this, we are adding data which was never analysed or presented to take actions upon. One such data is MTF Insights.
MTF or Margin Trading Facility is the go-to option for swing traders with high conviction and who know how to ride the stock gains with added leverage. It is offered by almost all brokers now and at Dhan, we offer it at 12.49% interest p.a. with a seamless experience across all our products.
There are 1000+ stocks where you can get up to 4X margin. And the reason for buying stocks with MTF can be multiple, based on your analysis and conviction. But while taking these trades, how about an option to see what the industry is doing?
Margin Trading Facility books have grown from ₹28,000 crores in Jan 2023 to ₹85,000 crores during the peak of Sep 2024. In the first two months of 2025, the industry MTF book is down by ₹13,000 crores, reaching a size of ₹70,000 crore by the end of February.
Another fact, only 7 companies have 10% of the entire industry MTF book. Want to dive-in more?
Introducing: MTF Insights on ScanX
Now, you can see which stocks have the highest MTF exposure in the industry and how much leverage you can get against each of them on Dhan, in a single window. Not just this, you can also track if the MTF book sizes are increasing or decreasing for a particular stock.
We have more updates planned to make this even more insightful and a lot more data with insights is coming your way on ScanX. We would love to hear your feedback and thoughts on this and what we should add next.
Rate moves and limit changes are the more visible MTF updates, but there’s been a lot of quieter work alongside — much of it sparked by conversations right here on MFT. If you find the monthly insights useful, here are a few related launches worth a look:
- MTF Now from as Low as 12.49% p.a — MTF interest rates on Dhan now start from 12.49% per annum, among the lowest in the industry. Makes leveraged positions meaningfully more affordable to hold over longer windows.
- MTF Interest Rates Capped at 15.49% — even at the higher end, MTF interest rates on Dhan are now capped at 15.49% across the board. Removes the uncertainty of variable rates climbing on you while a position is still open.
- MTF Limit Increased to ₹5 Cr — your MTF limit per client now goes up to ₹5 crore. Useful if you’re scaling beyond the earlier ceiling and want to keep more positions under leverage without splitting across accounts.
- T+5 Orders for Short-Term Positions — hold positions for up to 5 trading days under CUSPA, without converting them to delivery. Built for the in-between trades where intraday feels too short but full delivery feels like overcommitting.
- Pledge Shares for Margin Benefit — pledge your existing holdings to unlock additional margin for trading. The cleanest way to put long-term holdings to work without selling them down.
- Margin Limits Enhanced for Pledged ETFs — ETFs you’ve already pledged now earn higher margin limits than before. Particularly useful if a chunk of your portfolio sits in index or sector ETFs.
- In-line Margin & Leverage Calculator — calculate the margin and leverage required for any trade, right inline as you place it. Stops the back-and-forth of opening a separate calculator just to size a position.
- Convert Positions Between MTF, Intraday and Delivery — switch your open positions between MTF, intraday and delivery in a single tap. Lets a trade evolve naturally with the market rather than forcing you to close and re-open.
- MTF APIs on DhanHQ — execute MTF orders programmatically through DhanHQ APIs. For traders running automated strategies that need leverage built into the execution layer.
Thank you
Pranita
