Example of CashPlus

Suppose you have Rs 1 lakh in your trading account. As as none of the brokers offer margin for delivery trades, in normal case, you could buy shares of Reliance Industries worth of Rs 1 lakh.

SAMCO CashPlus provides you additional funding of Rs 3 lakhs. It enables you to buy shares of worth 4 lakhs in equity delivery segment.

  • Interest rate of 0.05% per day is charged. Interest is calculated on daily basis.

2. StockPlus

SAMCO StockPlus offers margin against shares. This is a margin funding product for intraday or positional trading in the Equity Derivatives and Currency Derivatives Segment (NSE F&O & NSE CDS only).

You can trade with absolutely Rs 0 balance in your trading account using this facility. A daily interest of 0.05% is charged on the outstanding balance.

Example of StockPlus

Let's say you have Reliance Industries shares worth of Rs 5 Lakhs. You get the margin of 100% on your holding after a haircut. (Haircut is the buffer money broker keep to cover the losses which may occur if the share price falls and you refuse to pay the loan. The haircut varies by the stock. It is based on the volatility and the liquidity of the stock.)

In case of Reliance, the haircut is 20%. Which mean StockPlus gives you the margin of Rs 4 Lakhs when you pledge Reliance Industry shares worth of Rs 5 Lakhs.

You pay interest on this Rs 4 Lakh at the rate of 0.05% daily. You also incur a Rs 60 fee from demat account for pledging the shares and another Rs 60 to un-pledge.
