Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) are open-ended mutual fund schemes that are listed and traded on stock exchanges in real time, similar to equity shares. Unlike traditional mutual funds where units are bought and sold at end-of-day NAV, ETFs have a continuously updating market price during trading hours. Zerodha provides full access to all ETFs listed on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) through Kite. ETF investing through Zerodha carries zero brokerage for delivery (CNC) orders, making it cost-effective for long-term investors.

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).
