At Samco, our goal is simple to make your trading experience smarter, simpler, and more powerful, Whether you’re an active trader or a long-term investor, your portfolio is more than just your holdings. It’s your opportunity to grow.

With Samco StockPlus, you can unlock that opportunity by using your existing stocks to get additional margin — all without selling them.

What Is StockPlus?

Samco StockPlus lets you use your existing shares as collateral to receive margin for trading in the stock market.

This means you can trade with higher exposure while your investments remain intact. You still continue to earn dividends and benefit from price appreciation. Your shares stay yours while they work harder for you.

Example:

Imagine you hold stocks worth ₹2,00,000.

Instead of selling them to free up cash, you can pledge those shares and instantly receive margin to take new trades—all while continuing to enjoy ownership and future gains.

That’s the power of smart leverage using your assets to seize market opportunities without losing them.

Charges & Interest

Here’s the breakup of charges under Samco StockPlus:

• Pledge Charges: ₹30 + GST per ISIN
• Unpledge Charges: ₹30 + GST per ISIN
• Interest Rate: 0.05% per day

💡 Note: ISIN refers to the unique identification number assigned to each security (for example, one ISIN per company whose shares you pledge).

Example:

Let’s say you pledge shares of Reliance Industries (ISIN: INE002A01018) and Infosys (ISIN: INE009A01021) under StockPlus.

• Pledging both stocks = 2 ISINs × ₹30 = ₹60 + GST
• Later, when you unpledge both = 2 ISINs × ₹30 = ₹60 + GST

So in total, you’ll pay ₹120 + GST for both pledge and unpledge actions.
