What is Margin Trading Facility (MTF)?
Margin Trading Facility (MTF) allows investors to buy stocks by paying only a fraction of the total value. The broker funds the remaining amount, charging an interest rate (typically 9-18% p.a.) on the funded portion. This is different from intraday leverage - MTF positions can be carried forward for up to 365 days.
SEBI regulates MTF in India. Only stocks approved by the exchange are eligible for margin trading. The margin percentage shown above represents the minimum amount you need to pay upfront - lower is better. For example, if a stock shows 20% margin on Upstox, you only need to pay ₹20 to buy ₹100 worth of that stock.
How to Use This MTF Stocks Directory
Click on any stock to see a detailed comparison of MTF margins across all four brokers - Upstox, Zerodha, Groww, and Dhan. Each stock page shows which broker offers the lowest margin requirement, how much you can leverage, and a direct comparison table so you can make an informed decision.
Which Broker Has the Best MTF Rates?
MTF margin requirements vary by broker and by stock. There is no single "best" broker for all stocks. For example, Upstox might offer 20% margin on Reliance while Zerodha requires 25% for the same stock. That's why comparing on a stock-by-stock basis is essential - and that's exactly what Downstox does for you.
