Collateral (liquid funds) refers to the margin you receive from pledged liquidbees ETFs and liquid mutual funds after deducting a haircut. This margin is considered as cash equivalent.
Exchange requirements for F&O positions
Exchanges require 50% of the margin for F&O positions to be in cash or cash equivalent collateral, while the remaining 50% can be in non-cash collateral margin.
If you have a shortfall in cash margin requirement for overnight positions and fund it with non-cash collateral, a delayed payment charge of 0.035% per day or 12.775% per annum applies on the shortfall amount.
Where to view collateral
If you have pledged liquidbees ETFs or liquid mutual funds, you can view the margin from pledge in the Collateral (liquid funds) section on the funds tab on Kite.
