Apart from low brokerage, Zerodha offers many other facilities to its customers. Zerodha exposure is one such facility. It allows customers to do more trading with limited funds.

Zerodha Exposure Limit

Zerodha exposure allows customers to trade many times over the funds in their account. The extent of exposure by Zerodha is different for different segments and trades. For intraday trades in stocks, leverage given by Zerodha is 20 times of the funds in the customer's account. So, if you have Rs 5,000 in your trading account then you can do intraday trading up to Rs 1 lakh. But not all stocks qualify for margin funding by Zerodha. Also, the margin limit is different for different stocks.

You can use the Zerodha margin calculator to know the margin limit on your trade. The calculator is available at Zerodha's website.

Zerodha Margin Policy- Key Points to Note

The exposure given by Zerodha is available only for intraday trades. There's no margin funding for delivery trades.
All orders will be automatically squared-off around 3:20 pm. But it is the trader's responsibility to square-off all open positions.
All open MIS positions get converted to Cash and Carry ("CNC") or Normal positions. The company squares off all such position if there are insufficient funds in the account.

Zerodha provides a higher margin on trades with Bracket Order (BO) and Cover Order (CO).
