Mtf in zerodha price
In the context of Zerodha, MTF stands for Margin Trading Facility. It is a "buy now, pay later" feature that allows you to buy stocks by paying only a fraction of the total price (the margin), while Zerodha funds the rest.
Here is the breakdown of the costs and how it affects the "price" of your trade:
1. Interest Rate (The Main Cost)
Zerodha charges a fixed interest rate on the amount they lend you.
* Daily Rate: 0.04% per day.
* Yearly Rate: ~14.6% per annum.
* Simple Math: This works out to approximately ₹40 per day for every ₹1 lakh funded by Zerodha.
2. Transaction Charges
When you use MTF, the brokerage and other fees are slightly different from standard delivery:
* Brokerage: ₹20 or 0.3% per executed order (whichever is lower). Note: Unlike regular delivery which is often free at Zerodha, MTF orders carry this small fee.
* Pledge/Unpledge Fees: Since Zerodha is "lending" you money, they legally must pledge the stocks as collateral.
* ₹15 + GST per stock (ISIN) when you buy.
* ₹15 + GST per stock (ISIN) when you sell.
3. Margin Example
If you want to buy ₹1,00,000 worth of a stock that has a 4x leverage:
* You pay: ₹25,000 (Your Margin)
* Zerodha pays: ₹75,000 (Funded Amount)
* Daily Interest: You will pay 0.04% of ₹75,000 = ₹30 per day.
Important "Fine Print"
* Holding Period: You can hold MTF positions as long as you want, provided you maintain the required margin and pay the interest.
* Margin Calls: If the stock price drops significantly, Zerodha may ask you to add more cash (a "Margin Call"). If you don't, they may sell your stocks to recover the loan.
* Eligible Stocks: MTF isn't available for every stock; it's usually limited to around 1,300+ liquid stocks approved by the exchange.
