This new loan against security product better be 4x-5x the portfolio value otherwise very costly at 14 to 15 percent interest.

Also If it is 1x then how differnet from curren pledging holdings process and getting 80 to 90 percent margin with no charge. I know there is 50 percent cash clause while using it for trading but still.

This loan can be used as overnight leverage not just intraday leverage which is cool.
What are the others terms and condition I wonder.

The article says already zerodha piloting this feature with 50k users

If anybody already using then please post more details.

4X-5X, am i reading it right ?

they were talking about 60% in livemint article.

The only condition with 4X-5X is like auto-square-off they do when the limits are hit.

12-13% p.a is way too high if they have such auto-square off clauses imho. This becomes nearly hard-cash backed concept.

Through its 'loan against securities' product, Zerodha aims to provide loans to its consumer base, against their portfolio investments in the public market, levying an interest rate of 12% -13%.

"Loan against securities is a natural extension to our retail brokerage business, and at present we are putting our own capital for this type of lending. If a consumer has investments worth ₹1 lakh in the market, we can provide them loans against 60% of their portfolio," Kamath added.

I dont think this is just for collateral.

Collateral can be used for Margins in trading "only" with various clauses of haircut and 50% in cash etc but this new NBFC LAS is for hard cash like a personal loan etc
With cash in a/c, they're able to compete with all loan outlets bcos like Muthoot specializes in Gold, they'll be able to do it with securities.

Get client to open A/C with Z, pledge the security, get cash in a/c.
Pay EMIs, on default they'll sell holdings and recover the amount.
I guess thats the whole cycle.
Comparatively risk free compared to other physical assets etc that needs to be disposed.
