ICICIdirect MTF (Margin Trading Facility)
| Facility | Available |
|---|---|
| Margin Trading Facility offered | ✔ Yes |
MTF lets you buy more shares than your cash balance by borrowing the rest from the broker, for delivery trades only. You pay daily interest on the borrowed amount and pledge the purchased shares as collateral.
ICICIdirect margin & leverage
| Segment | Margin | Leverage |
|---|---|---|
| Equity Delivery | Up to 100% of trade value | 1x |
| Equity Intraday | As per SEBI Peak Margin Rules | Up to 5x* |
| Equity Futures | SPAN + Exposure Margin | As per Exchange |
| Equity Options | Premium + Applicable Margin | As per Exchange |
| Currency Futures & Options | Exchange Prescribed Margin | As per Exchange |
| Commodity Futures & Options | Exchange Prescribed Margin | As per Exchange |
Leverage cuts both ways. Interest accrues every calendar day, including weekends and holidays, until you sell or convert to delivery. A price fall on a leveraged position magnifies the loss on your own capital, and a margin shortfall can trigger auto square-off.
