Hello Traders and Investors,
A few months back, we increased the MTF limit per user to ₹1 Cr to give you more room to build positions with leverage. Based on your feedback and the way many of you are actively using MTF to scale strategies, we’re taking this a step further.
MTF Limit has now further been increased to ₹5 Cr
- MTF limit per user is now increased to ₹5 Cr
- Maximum net buy value for F&O stocks (per client, per stock, per day): ₹2 Cr
- Maximum net buy value for Non–F&O stocks (per client, per stock, per day): ₹1 Cr
- DDPI activation is compulsory for anyone taking trades above 1 cr using MTF
This update is designed for traders who primarily use MTF. It allows you to take larger positions with conviction and gives you more headroom to operate without running into earlier limits.
Built for scale, with the same discipline
While the limit has increased, our risk framework and margin policies remain unchanged to ensure responsible usage. As always, leverage is a powerful tool. Remember to use it thoughtfully.
- Keep an eye on margin utilisation
- Avoid over-leveraging
- Stay prepared for market volatility
The MTF on Dhan keeps growing in directions traders ask for. If a higher limit helps how you trade, here are a few related launches that pair naturally with this one:
- 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.
- 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.
- MTF Market Insights on ScanX — monthly MTF rental trends, top stocks, and positioning data, surfaced inside ScanX Insights. A view that started from community conversations on MFT and now ships every month.
- 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.
We’ll continue to evolve MTF based on how you use it and the kind of flexibility you need.
Happy Trading,
Pranita
