Further clients are required to maintain minimum 50% collateral in the form of cash when availing margin benefit against shares pledged in their depositories or the same would be adjusted from brokers proprietary capital.

Requirement of minimum 50% collateral in form of Liquid Cash or cash equivalent collateral for Stock Plus Clients.
From Feb 28th, 2022 Stock + clients are now required to maintain a minimum 50% of the total collateral in the form of cash(Liquid Cash or cash equivalent collateral). If margin is utilized and 50:50 cash (Liquid Cash or cash equivalent collateral) vs collateral ratio not maintained then late payment charges @ 18% per annum would be applicable on the shortage amount of cash calculated on day to day basis
Example
Say you have a cash margin of 50,000 and shares worth 2 lac. Considering a haircut of 25% the collateral value comes out to be 1.5 lac. If you use 1 lac total margin ( 50,000 cash + 50,000 collateral ) 50:50 cash vs collateral criterion is fulfilled. If you use margin beyond that then Interest would be applicable on only cash amount that is short in order to meet the 50:50 cash vs collateral ratio
