    Yes, 5paisa charges interest rates on the amount loaned to customers as margin funding. The 5paisa margin interest rate is 18% per annum calculated monthly.

    5 paisa margin funding is a facility offered by the stock broker to its customers.

The rest of the amount is paid by the stock broker to the exchange.

However, 5paisa charges interest rates on the margin amount loaned at 18% per annum calculated monthly. The interest will keep accruing until it is paid.

    5paisa margin funding is a loan like a facility backed by collateral. The collateral, in this case, is the securities (stocks, derivatives etc.) brought in a margin funded trade. As per the 5 paisa margin trading facility terms and conditions-

All corporate benefits from the pledged securities such as bonuses, dividends etc., will also be pledged as collateral till the funded margin amount is repaid by the client.
