Most of the people either not aware of
#SEBI 50-50 rule & often ask me in private why there is a deduction in ledger.
Here some explanation you can follow.
I was delighted to see Kotak accepting
#FD as cash-component but at last point it’s discarded. Hence not much difference from Zerodha.
Unless broker gives a lucrative offer/scheme for
#margin &
#cash ratio, all brokers are more or less same on this perspective,
#5Paisa use to have a
#MarginPlus plan but that too is stopped now, so if you are a POSITIONAL trader be ready to pay interest.
There are a lot of ghosts around the “50:50 Margin Rule”.

Hence, in this thread, I will try & explain 50:50 rule is some detail.
