Q5) How can I utilize the MarginPlus funding?

If you are a MarginPlus customer, 5paisa will help you meet your cash margin requirements for placing an order. This will allow you to trade hassle-free even if all of your margins are in the form of collateral.
 
Q6) How is interest calculated in MarginPlus for full funding on Intraday orders?
 
No interest will be charged for funding on intraday trades. However, to place an order you will still need to have a “net available margin” of more than the margin required for the order
 
Q7) How is interest calculated in MarginPlus for full funding on Delivery (cash segment) orders?
 
If you are placing a delivery order of 100 Qty of Cipla shares at Rs. 900/- where the upfront margin required is Rs. 18,000. As per the rule, you will need to maintain 9,000/- as a Cash component to place this order. 
However, if you do not have any cash in your trading account, but you have a Collateral margin of more than Rs. 18,000, then 5paisa will allow you to place the order using funds from its own books.
 
Further, when the entire amount has to be paid in cash, on settlement i.e. T+2, 5paisa will fund that amount if you set up a pledge for funding.
 
So, your margin funding utilization here is 100*9,000=90,000 as the full amount will need to be paid in cash by 5paisa at settlement. Hence, your interest would be 90,000*0.06% = Rs. 54 per day T+2 day onwards.
 
Q8) How is interest calculated in MarginPlus for partial funding on Delivery (cash segment) orders?
 
If you are placing a delivery order of 100 Qty of Cipla shares at Rs. 900/- and your account has cash and cash equivalent of Rs 5000, then the funding by 5paisa for your order would be 100000-5000 = 95000.
 
In this case, your margin funding utilization is Rs 95000, and thus the interest charged would be at 95000*0.06% = Rs. 57 per day from T+2 day.
 
Please note that we consider only EOD funding utilization of the day for calculating interest charges. 
 
Q9) How is interest calculated in MarginPlus for full funding on Overnight(FnO/Currency) orders with 5paisa?
 
If you're placing an overnight order for 1 lot (50 Qty) of Nifty futures at Rs. 16,900/-, then the upfront margin required will be Rs. 1,03,000/- (i.e. Span + Exposure margin as specified by exchange). 
 
As per the rule, you will need to maintain at least Rs. 51,500/- in Cash/Cash equivalent to placing this order, while the remaining Rs. 51,500/- can be in the form of collateral.
 
However, if you do not have any cash in your trading account but you have a collateral margin of Rs. 1,03,000/- or more, then 5paisa will allow you to place the order and help you fulfill your Rs. 51,500/- cash requirement from its own books.
 
In this case, your margin funding utilization is Rs. 51,500/-. In case you fall in the 0.03% slab, then the interest charged will be 51,500*0.03% = Rs 15.45 per day, respectively, T+1 onwards.
 
Q10) How is interest calculated in MarginPlus for partial funding on Overnight(FnO/Currency) orders with 5paisa?
 
Considering the above scenario, instead of zero cash, if you had cash and cash equivalent of Rs 20,000, then the funding by 5paisa for your order would be 51,500-20,000 = 31,500. Here, you would be charged interest which will be calculated as 31,500*0.03% = Rs. 9.45 per day if your net worth is above 5 lakh. 
Similarly, in case your net worth is below 5 lakh, your interest would be charged as 31,500 *0.04% = Rs 12.6 per day.
 
Please note that we consider only EOD funding utilization of the day for calculating interest.
