What is Funded stock liquidation in MTF ?

Liquidation involves moving excess stocks from Funded stocks in MTF (Margin Trading Facility) to Normal segments. Here are some key terms:

  • Funded Stocks: Stocks bought under MTF.
  • MTF Debit: Total debit in the MTF ledger.
  • MTF Collateral: Cash or stock used as collateral for funding.

Liquidation Scenarios:

  1. Scenario 1: The system compares the MTF debit with the Funded stock value at CMP or Cost, whichever is lower. If the MTF debit is lower by ₹10,000, stocks worth ₹10,000 are moved to your demat account as free stocks. For example, with an MTF debit of ₹25 lakhs and funded stock value of ₹25.5 lakhs, stocks worth ₹50,000 will be released to your demat account. Navia liquidates client positions on a FIFO basis, starting with the highest value security. This process is currently done, once in a month

  2. Scenario 2: If there is a shortfall in payout for MTF stock, the trades are transferred to the normal segment. For instance, if you bought 10,000 shares of A but only received 9,900 in the payout, the entire trade then moves to the NSE CM segment, and shares will be sold on T+1 day to clear any debit.

  3. Scenario 3: When the required margin of a stock increases to 100%. If the VAR margin requirement for a stock changes, the stock is liquidated from MTF. For example, if stock 'X' bought with a 53% margin requirement increases to 100%, it will be removed from funded stocks, requiring full payment of the purchase value, triggering liquidation.
