How Does Margin Trading Facility Work?

Margin Trading Facility (MTF) allows the investors to trade in stocks on margin, thus the investors borrow money in order to finance the stock purchase. Here’s how it works in more detail:

Margin Requirement

The margin requirement (as a percentage of the total amount of intended stock purchase) is calculated right from the onset when you start an MTF trade. For instance, if the price of stock is ₹2000 per share, the margin requirement is 25%, you can use ₹500 per share as margin money.
