Hi @Devil-Vaas, welcome to MadeForTrade,

The collateral margin from pledging your delivery holdings can be used across all segments (equity, F&O, currency, and MCX). However, Clearing Corporation (CC) requires brokers to maintain a 50:50 margin ratio half in cash/cash equivalents and half in non-cash (approved securities). Read more here and here. If the collateral is cash component then no extra cash required unless there is a MTM loss.

Hi @Siyanka is MTM applicable for everyday if the ledger balance goes negative aur after the settlement of trade

Hi @Devil-Vaas,

If you buy options, equity delivery, or have a daily MTM loss on futures or negative due to an increase in the margin, your ledger balance goes negative, which you need to add within 4 days. On the 5th working day, our system starts auto square-off at 11:00 AM, called an โ€œAgeing debitโ€. Read more about this here.
