Terms of Service for pledging

Securities can be pledged between 7 AM and 5 PM on trading days. However, there are no restrictions on unpledging. The collateral margin from a successful pledge request will be credited to the Zerodha account on the next trading day.
When using collateral margin to trade F&O, the shareholder must have 50% of the margin requirement in cash or cash equivalents. If not, interest at 0.035% per day will be charged on the cash component funded by Zerodha. See Will Zerodha provide margin on liquid funds? If losses in F&O are not funded by cash, interest on the debit balance will be charged at 0.05% per day.
Use of collateral margins from pledging the holdings will only be allowed with a positive cash balance.
The cost of pledging is ₹30 + GST per request, per ISIN, irrespective of the quantity pledged. There are no charges for unpledging.
