Margin & Funding

How is the funding amount calculated?

The funding amount is the portion of the total trade value that is financed by Alice Blue under MTF.

Let’s understand with an example:
Suppose you want to buy a stock that costs ₹1,000 per share, and it is eligible for 3x margin.

You have ₹1,000 in your account.

With 3x margin, you can buy shares worth:
₹1,000 × 3 = ₹3,000

Now, your contribution (margin) is ₹1,000.

So, the funding amount from Alice Blue is:
₹3,000 (total value) – ₹1,000 (your money) = ₹2,000

This ₹2,000 is the funded amount, and you will pay interest on this until you close the position or repay.

What is the interest rate charged for MTF?

Alice Blue charges an interest of 18% per year on the funded amount under Margin Trading Facility (MTF).

To make it easier to understand:

18% per year is roughly 0.049% per day.

This daily interest is calculated only on the amount borrowed (i.e., the part funded by Alice Blue, not your own contribution).

 Example:
If Alice Blue funds ₹10,000 for your MTF trade:

Daily interest = ₹10,000 × 0.049% = ₹4.90 (approx.)

This interest keeps adding up daily until you square off or clear the dues.

Is interest charged daily in MTF?

Yes, interest is charged daily on the borrowed amount under the Margin Trading Facility (MTF).
