What is Margin Trade Facility (MTF)?
Margin Trading Facility is a facility whereby — with funding from Upstox — you can invest in stocks of value higher than what you can afford at that given time. You bring in the 50% and we lend you the other 50%.
Eg: As per your calculation, AXZ Ltd. will show a positive. Their shares are currently worth Rs. 100, 000 but you just have Rs. 50,000 in hand. Ordinarily, you’d have to let go of them because of shortage of funds or leverage restrictions. But not anymore! Opt for Margin Trading Facility and Upstox will give you the other 50%; that is Rs. 50,000.
