How MTF Works
More Buying Power,
Less Capital Needed
MTF is simple — you pay a fraction of the trade value upfront as margin, and your broker funds the rest. You own the shares, benefit from any price gains, but only pay interest on the funded portion.
💳
Pay Only a Fraction Upfront
Instead of paying the full stock price, you deposit a margin — typically 25–50% of the trade value. Your broker funds the balance through MTF.
📈
Get 4X Buying Power
With ₹1 Lakh of margin, you can take positions worth up to ₹4 Lakhs — amplifying your exposure and potential profits significantly.
🔐
Pledge Shares by 9 PM
To hold your MTF position beyond T+1 day, pledge the purchased shares before 9 PM on the trade day. A simple one-step process on the platform.
🔄
Convert to Delivery or Square Off
Hold long-term? Repay the debit to convert to regular delivery. Want to exit? Square off anytime to limit interest costs and book profits.

Use MTF Responsibly
4 Rules for Smart
Leveraged Trading
Leverage amplifies both profits and losses. Follow these rules to protect your capital and trade with discipline.
Pledge Shares Before 9 PM
To hold MTF positions beyond T+1 settlement, pledge your purchased shares before 9 PM on the trade day. Missing this deadline may result in forced square-off.
Maintain Adequate Margin
Monitor your account daily. If your margin falls below the required level due to price movement, top up immediately to avoid margin calls and forced exits.
Set Stop Losses on Every Trade
Leverage magnifies losses just as much as gains. Always set a stop loss before entering an MTF position — don't let a losing trade erode your entire margin.
Understand Haircuts & Interest
Margin requirements vary by stock volatility (haircut). Daily interest on the funded amount accumulates — factor this cost into your profit calculations before entering.

Important Note for MTF Clients — Pledge Requirement
As per SEBI guidelines, you must pledge the shares purchased through MTF before 9 PM on the day of purchase if you wish to hold your position under this facility beyond T+1 settlement. Failure to complete the pledge on time may result in your position being squared off within 4 days. This is a regulatory requirement applicable to all Motilal Oswal / Dhandho Marwadi MTF clients. Our team will send daily reminders — but the pledge action must be completed by you on the platform.
⚠️ Risk Disclosure — Margin Trading Facility
Trading on margin involves significant risk and is not suitable for all investors. Leverage amplifies both gains and losses — it is possible to lose more than your initial margin deposit. MTF positions are subject to margin calls, forced liquidation, and interest charges on the funded amount. 9 out of 10 individual traders in equity futures and options segments incur net losses. On average, loss makers register net trading losses close to ₹50,000. Over and above net trading losses, loss makers expend an additional 28% as transaction costs. Please read all related documents carefully before using MTF. Investment in securities market is subject to market risks. Brokerage will not exceed SEBI prescribed limits.
