FAQs

Is the full value of pledged securities available as margin?

accordion
No, the entire value is not available. A SEBI-prescribed haircut (typically between 5–25%) is applied, and the remaining amount is credited to your account as usable margin.

How is the pledge value determined on Upstox?

accordion
The pledge value is calculated based on the previous trading day’s closing price. Multiply the number of shares you wish to pledge by the closing price to get the Gross Pledge Amount.From this, a "haircut" (a percentage defined by SEBI) is deducted. The remaining amount is your Net Pledge Value, which is the margin available for trading

Which assets/instruments are eligible for pledging?

accordion
You can pledge the following instruments: Stocks, Exchange-traded funds (ETFs), Mutual Funds

Where can I use collateral margin?

accordion
Collateral margin can be used for: Futures & Options (F&O) trading, Intraday positions, Equity delivery,

Is there a cash-to-collateral ratio requirement?

accordion
While you're required to maintain a 50:50 ratio of cash and collateral, Upstox offers you the flexibility to proceed even if your cash component is lower. In such cases, a nominal interest of 0.05% per day is charged on the shortfall amount, giving you the benefit of fully utilising your pledged holdings.
