    Intraday Trading

    How does “Intraday (Margin)” work?

    In Intraday (Margin), trader only pays some portion of the total trade value upfront. The remaining portion is funded by the broker.

    Let’s take an example, say Mr. Q wishes to buy 2 shares of WIPRO however he does not wish to spend his entire available balance on these shares and thus opts for Intraday. If this was a delivery trade, he would have had to pay Rs. 782, however as seen below he only needs to pay Rs. 156 since the trade is being done in Margin segment.

    The amount which is blocked as margin is as mentioned below 20%. 

     

    Margin facility is available only for particular stocks. The whole list of eligible stocks along with the applicable rates can be viewed on the website.

    To view:

    • Click on Stocks > Services > Stock List.

    • Further, click on Select
    • Choose Margin/Flexi Cash from the drop-down list.
    • Click View.

    The list will now show those shares which can be bought using margin as well as the various margin requirements for these shares.
