For example, To place a buy order of 100 shares of Reliance Industry at Rs 1000 per share, you would need Rs 1 Lakh in your trading account.
In the case of Intraday and derivatives (F&O) trading, brokers use word Exposure for margin money.
Note: Words like margin, exposure, leverage, and limit are used interchangeably for the same purpose, though they have a slightly different meaning.
