CLARIFYING: Charging Interest or extra brokerage is purely a commercial call. As per law, Broker can take collateral in any form from client. What broker needs to ensure is that while giving collateral to exchange/CC, it has to be in 50:50 Cash and Non-Cash form. Which means broker can fund the cash/cash equivalent margin requirement from its own capital or borrowings as well. The question of using one clients margin towards another client does not arise because every clients extra cash needs to be upstreamed to exchange/CC each day and Non-Cash margins need mandatory pledge. Have no doubt, any increase or decrease in Interest/Brokerage is purely a commercial call. The purpose of any increase in pricing has only one purpose here - PROFITABILITY. Period.

There is a lot of talk around broker margin lately. Here’s what you actually need to know. Before Sep 2021, 50:50 cash and collateral margin was managed at broker level. Now it’s strictly at the client level. Reason is simple: one client’s cash cannot be used to support another client’s collateral. As per regulation, minimum 50% margin has to be in cash or cash equivalents. This applies to both intraday and carry forward positions. If you’re taking positions only using stock collateral, the cash portion is effectively being funded by the broker. Example: Assume Nifty futures margin is ₹1.75L Required cash = ₹87.5K If you have ₹60K, there is a shortfall of ₹27.5K That gap is funded by the broker, by blocking their own capital If this is not maintained, RRM will step in and positions can be cut. Important point: Some brokers were already strict about this. Others, especially cash-rich brokers, allowed intraday trades without enforcing the 50% cash at client level and charged interest only for carry forward position. But in both the cases, the cash portion was effectively being funded by the broker at the clearing corporation level using his money Clients can also track their collateral (cash and non-cash) through the portals provided by NSE and BSE Clearing Limited.
