Pledge and collateral margin on Zerodha

Mon, 11 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The pledge and collateral margin mechanism on Zerodha allows investors to use their demat account holdings, including equity shares, ETFs, and mutual fund units, as margin collateral for trading in the F&O segment, equity intraday (MIS), currency derivatives, and commodity derivatives. Instead of selling investments to fund margin requirements, investors pledge their holdings to Zerodha, which in turn re-pledges them to the clearing corporation as collateral. The holdings remain in the investor’s demat account at CDSL in a pledged state (encumbered but not transferred).
