MTF — Margin Trading Facility

Buy equity delivery shares with a fraction of the contract value upfront, and carry forward the balance — funded by Nikunj.

📈
Increased buying power — take a larger equity delivery position than your available funds alone would allow.
🔄
Carry forward positions — hold MTF positions beyond the trading day, subject to applicable margin requirements.
📋
Eligible securities only — MTF is available on a list of approved securities as defined by the exchange and Nikunj's risk policy, which may change from time to time.
⚠️
Leverage carries risk — MTF amplifies both gains and losses. Positions are subject to margin calls and may be squared off if margin requirements are not maintained.
Interest Rate
13% p.a.
Interest is charged on the funded amount for the period the MTF position is held, calculated daily and billed as per Nikunj's MTF policy. Rates are subject to change as per RBI/SEBI guidelines and prevailing market conditions — please confirm the current applicable rate with your Relationship Manager before using this facility.

Account & Miscellaneous Charges

Applicable to both plans. Levied by depositories, exchanges or SEBI — not Nikunj, unless stated otherwise.

Pricing Questions

On the Nikunj Direct plan, brokerage is a flat ₹20 per executed order for all F&O and Intraday trades — regardless of trade size. Equity delivery trades are charged at the same flat rate of ₹20 per order.
Nikunj Direct is a fully digital, self-service plan suited for independent investors. Nikunj Relationship adds a dedicated Relationship Manager, personalised portfolio support, physical branch access and priority research reports — ideal for investors who want ongoing human support alongside their digital tools.
Yes. Opening your Demat + Trading account with Nikunj is completely free. The only annual recurring charge is the Demat AMC of ₹300/year, levied by the depository (CDSL/NSDL).
Nikunj offers regular mutual fund plans across a wide range of schemes, with SIPs starting from as low as ₹100, on both plans. As a regular plan distributor, Nikunj earns a small distribution commission from the AMC — this does not add any extra cost to you directly.
MTF (Margin Trading Facility) lets you buy eligible equity delivery shares by paying only a fraction of the value upfront, with Nikunj funding the balance. The applicable interest rate is 13% per annum on the funded amount, charged for the period the position is held. MTF involves leverage and carries risk — please speak with your Relationship Manager to understand margin requirements before using this facility.
All trades are subject to statutory charges levied by SEBI and the exchanges — including STT/CTT, exchange transaction charges, stamp duty, and 18% GST on brokerage. These are standard across all brokers and are not set by Nikunj. See the detailed charges table above for exact rates by segment.
