Effect of Dividends, Bonus, Splits and others on your MTF positions
Did you know that corporate actions such as dividends, bonuses, splits, and rights issues can affect your MTF position? But before we have a look at that, let’s go back to the basics of the Margin Trading Facility (MTF).
MTF Basics
When you buy stocks using MTF, you pay only a part of the total transactional value, while the rest is funded by ICICIdirect. It’s important to note that the stocks purchased under MTF are held in your Demat account but remain under the pledge (PL) status since you have not fully paid for these positions.
Now that you understand the basics, let’s explore how corporate actions affect your MTF positions.
Effect of Corporate Actions on MTF Positions
-
Dividends
You are eligible to receive the full amount of the dividend as long as you hold the stock on the record date. -
Bonus, Splits, Mergers, or De-mergers
For corporate actions such as bonuses, splits, mergers, or de-mergers, you must convert your MTF positions to delivery by paying the full amount before the record date. You will be informed about the last date until which you can hold your stock under MTF. After this date, your positions will automatically be squared off.
Rights Issues
You are eligible for rights issues provided you convert your positions from MTF to delivery before the record date.

Tips to become a Smart SIP Investor
Systematic Investment Plan or SIP, if judicially used by investors can actually be that tool that can help people retire early by saving early. But one has to be cautious with type of mutual fund schemes he/she chooses. To exploit the full potential of SIP one point is clear, that one has to start investing in SIP at a young age. As more the time, more the gains from the compounding effect.
Let us understand with an example:
As one SIP calculator shows that if one starts investing Rs 1,000 per month, then assuming a return of 10%, the amount at the end of 20 years, this investor would get is Rs 7,18,259 due to the compounding effect.
Now, we will try show the power of investing an SIP at an early age. According to another SIP calculator, if a 25-year-old starts an SIP of Rs 5,000 per month, then assuming 12% return, the investor would have Rs 2.76 cr when he retires at 60. While another person who starts investing at the age of 30 years would get Rs 1.54 cr at 60. Clearly, a gain of Rs 1.22 cr for starting early. Clearly, it’s a big-big advantage for early birds. From this example it clear, the delay in SIP could cost you the few crores.

ELSS SIP: Best Systematic Investment Plan to Save Tax and Build Wealth
Smart financial planning is one of the basic principles for realising your dreams. For example, if you want to buy a house or luxury car, you need to plan for it early. So, you have to save and then invest the savings intelligently. Always remember that reducing tax liability is a saving too. Now, if you can save tax and create wealth simultaneously, wouldn’t it be icing on the cake it.
Systematic Investment Plan or SIPs are the simplest tool to save tax and create wealth in one go. All that you have to do, is to invest in Equity Linked Saving Schemes or ELSS, which are tax saving schemes of the mutual funds. You can invest in ELSS via SIPs. For ELSS investments using SIPs, the government allows you the deduction of up to Rs. 1.5 lakh from your taxable income. You save more than Rs 45,000 if you are in the 30% tax bracket.
You can start an ELSS SIP with the minimal amount of Rs 500. However, you can increase the amount whenever you want to. To start SIP you have to fill a form, offline or online. In the form you have to give your bank account details for auto-debit. You have the flexibility of choosing the frequency, i.e. weekly, monthly, quarterly, or yearly. And yes, SIP gives you the option of choosing a date too. ELSS SIPs not only save tax but offer you other advantages too. On an average you get returns of nearly 15% over 5 years. Almost more than double that you get on PPF, FD, or NSC investments. These returns help you create wealth.
With a lock-in period of just 3-years, it gives you more liquidity than PPF for example, where the lock-in is 15-years. Advantages don’t end here. Unlike insurance policies or PPF, there are no penalties for missing your installment. You can deposit after the due date and your SIP continues. However, if you miss three consecutive installments, then your SIP gets cancelled and you then have to fill a form again for restarting your SIP. So, you should maintain adequate bank balance on your SIP date.
Now, let us look at your precautions. Since you ELSS SIP investments go into equities, you must assess your risk appetite before investing in this instrument. Once into it, ensure adequate balance in your account on SIP date.

This gives your bank details to the mutual fund for future auto debit facility.
Number of subscribers in SIP
How many family members can apply a single SIP you may be thinking. you can hold it solely or jointly with others. All holders are required to sign the form and submit PAN and Aadhar details. In case of minors, guardian details are required. In case you want to withdraw money then it will go to the account from which investments were being debited.

Here's something very important that you need to know while subscribing a SIP. While applying for the SIP always mention a nominee, this will ensure hassle-free withdrawal or transfer of SIP in name of nominee in case the primary holder suffers untimely death.
