Borrowing shares through the NSCCL Securities Lending and Borrowing (SLB) platform on Zerodha allows investors and traders to obtain shares for delivery-based short selling or hedging strategies. Unlike intraday short selling (MIS), which must be squared off by day end, SLB borrowing enables multi-day or multi-month short positions in eligible equity shares. The borrowed shares arrive in your demat account via NSCCL settlement and can be sold on the exchange like regular delivery shares.
