What is MTF?

Margin Trading Facility, commonly known as MTF, lets you buy stocks in delivery without paying the full amount upfront. You pay a portion of the total value called the margin and Samco funds the rest. The shares are credited to your account in delivery mode, just like a regular stock purchase.

How it works

Say a stock costs ₹1,00,000 and MTF offers 5x leverage on it.

  • You pay: ₹20,000 (your margin)
  • Samco funds: ₹80,000
  • You own: 100% of the shares, in delivery

You get the full benefit  or loss of owning those shares, while only putting in a fraction of the cost.

Why use MTF?

  • You can act on a market opportunity even if you don’t have the full capital
  • Your remaining funds stay free for other trades
  • You get delivery-based ownership of the shares from day one

MTF is available on eligible stocks listed on NSE and BSE. The leverage on each stock varies and is shown in the app when you place the order. On many stocks, you can get up to 5x leverage.
