How it works

Shoonya MTF combines 2× buying power with a simple funded-capital split

Shoonya's current Margin Trading Facility is built around approximately 50% upfront capital and 50% broker funding on eligible positions, with access to more than 1,300 approved Group I stocks and funding of up to ₹5 lakh per user.

2× buying power

Know exactly how much capital came from Shoonya

A ₹1 lakh MTF position can use ₹50,000 from you and ₹50,000 funded by Shoonya. Keep those amounts separate so leverage and financing cost are based on the actual funding structure.

T+1 interest

Funding cost starts after the trade date

Shoonya currently starts MTF interest from T+1. Keeping the funding start date attached to the position prevents the cost from being reconstructed incorrectly later.

₹5 lakh limit

Track funded exposure across the whole Shoonya account

Shoonya currently advertises funding of up to ₹5 lakh per user. Looking at each trade separately can hide how much of that total funding capacity is already being used.

Figures shown on this page are illustrative. Current Shoonya funding terms, margin requirements and charges can change.

The blind spot

Shoonya MTF looks simple at entry, but the funding trail keeps changing

The order window can show a clean 50-50 capital split, but funded days, partial exits, FIFO treatment, pledge state and margin changes can alter the economics after execution. The journal needs to preserve that lifecycle.

1

The ₹49 daily rate only makes sense with the funded amount

Shoonya quotes ₹49 per ₹1 lakh funded per day at its current starting rate. Applying that cost to total trade value instead of broker-funded capital would overstate financing expense.

2

BTST and longer holds have different funding timelines

Shoonya supports BTST and longer MTF positions, with financing beginning from the T+1 opening balance. Record actual funded days rather than treating every delivery-style trade the same.

3

FIFO can change what remains funded after a partial sale

When the same stock is purchased on different dates, Shoonya applies demat-level FIFO reporting. A partial exit can therefore change the ageing and funding trail of the shares still held.

The fix

Build every Shoonya MTF trade around funded capital and T+1 carry

QbarTrade can keep execution, your contribution, Shoonya funding, funded days, financing cost, pledge state and eventual exits in one position record so the MTF result remains understandable after the trade closes.

Capital split

Store Your Capital and Shoonya Funded separately

Those are the same core values Shoonya uses in its own MTF calculator. Keeping the split makes leverage, funding cost and return on your own capital much easier to review.

Daily carry

Accrue financing from the actual T+1 funded balance

Keep the funded balance and funded days together so the expected interest can be compared with the final Shoonya charge.

Position history

Record sells, FIFO changes and delivery conversion

Direct MTF sales and conversion to delivery change the outstanding funded amount. Preserve those events so financing does not continue against capital that is no longer borrowed.

Using it well

Three Shoonya MTF checks worth making on every funded trade

Shoonya provides a relatively transparent funding model: stock eligibility, required margin, broker funding and estimated interest can all be checked before entry. QbarTrade adds value by preserving how those numbers changed during the trade.

01 · Funding

Track total Shoonya funding, not only position value

With a current funding limit of up to ₹5 lakh per user, account-level funded exposure matters. Multiple 2x positions can consume funding capacity faster than their individual capital contributions suggest.

02 · DDPI

Keep auto-pledge status part of the trade record

Shoonya's current MTF workflow relies on DDPI or POA for auto-pledging. Record the funding and pledge state together so operational status is not separated from the position.

03 · Exit

Update funded capital after every sale or conversion

A direct sale, BTST exit or conversion to delivery changes the amount Shoonya continues to fund. Keep the remaining funded balance accurate before calculating additional interest.

FAQ

Shoonya MTF journal, funding cost and net P&L questions

What is Shoonya MTF?

Shoonya Margin Trading Facility lets eligible clients buy approved equity stocks by paying part of the trade value while Shoonya funds the remaining eligible amount. The funded capital attracts interest while the MTF position remains open.

What is a Shoonya MTF trading journal?

A Shoonya MTF trading journal keeps your own capital, Shoonya-funded amount, margin requirement, funded days, financing cost, pledge status, margin events, brokerage and final net P&L attached to the same funded position.

How much leverage does Shoonya MTF provide?

Shoonya currently markets MTF around 2x buying power, meaning an eligible position can require around 50% upfront while Shoonya funds the remaining eligible amount. The actual margin requirement depends on the approved stock and current broker rules.

How much margin do I need for Shoonya MTF?

Shoonya's current MTF page illustrates a ₹1,00,000 position using ₹50,000 of your own capital and ₹50,000 funded by Shoonya. Use the actual required margin displayed for the selected stock because stock-level eligibility and margin requirements can vary.

What is the Shoonya MTF interest rate?

Shoonya currently publishes MTF interest starting from 0.049% per day on the funded amount, equivalent to ₹49 per ₹1 lakh of funded capital per day. Broker pricing can change, so use the applicable Shoonya rate when reconciling a historical trade.

When does Shoonya MTF interest start?

Shoonya currently says MTF interest starts from T+1 and continues until the funded position is sold or closed. That makes funded days an important field to keep alongside the position.

How is Shoonya MTF interest calculated?

Start with the amount funded by Shoonya rather than the full market value of the position. Apply the applicable daily financing rate to that funded amount for the number of days the funding remains outstanding.

How much interest does Shoonya charge on ₹1 lakh of MTF funding?

At Shoonya's currently published starting rate of 0.049% per day, ₹1,00,000 of funded capital corresponds to ₹49 of financing cost per day. A 10-day funded period at that rate would therefore be ₹490 before other applicable charges.

What is the maximum Shoonya MTF funding limit?

Shoonya's current MTF product page states funding of up to ₹5 lakh per user. Actual available funding remains subject to stock eligibility, required margin, available account capital and Shoonya's risk rules.

How many stocks are available under Shoonya MTF?

Shoonya currently advertises more than 1,300 approved Group I stocks for MTF. The eligible list can change, so check the current Shoonya MTF stock list before opening a funded position.

Which stocks are eligible for Shoonya MTF?

Shoonya describes its MTF basket as approved Group I stocks. The live stock list should be used to confirm eligibility, margin requirement, funded amount and interest before entering the trade.

What are the Shoonya MTF brokerage charges?

Shoonya's current dedicated MTF page lists brokerage at ₹5 or 0.03% per executed order, whichever is lower, with applicable statutory charges separate.

What are the Shoonya MTF pledge charges?

Shoonya currently lists MTF pledge and unpledge charges at ₹20 plus GST per ISIN per day, charged once per ISIN regardless of the quantity covered by that request.

What are Shoonya MTF invocation charges?

Shoonya currently lists invocation charges of ₹20 plus GST per ISIN when a margin shortfall results in liquidation of pledged securities.

Does Shoonya charge for MTF square-off?

Shoonya's current MTF pricing page lists the broker square-off charge for MTF positions as nil. Financing, brokerage, pledge, invocation and statutory charges can still apply independently.

Is DDPI required for Shoonya MTF?

Shoonya's current MTF page says access is presently limited to existing DDPI or POA clients. DDPI also enables Shoonya's MTF auto-pledging workflow after funded shares are purchased.

How does Shoonya MTF auto-pledging work?

When DDPI or POA is enabled, Shoonya says MTF-funded stocks are automatically pledged after purchase, removing the need for repeated daily manual pledge authorization.

Can I sell Shoonya MTF holdings directly?

Yes. Shoonya currently allows MTF holdings to be sold directly from the Shoonya mobile app without first placing a separate manual unpledge request.

Can Shoonya MTF be converted to delivery?

Shoonya's current MTF workflow says a funded position can be converted to delivery by paying the outstanding dues. The journal should preserve the conversion because it changes the funded balance and stops future MTF financing on the converted amount.

Does Shoonya MTF support BTST?

Yes. Shoonya currently supports Buy Today Sell Tomorrow using MTF. Its product page says interest applies from the T+1 opening balance, subject to settlement-holiday rules.

Can I place AMO or GTT orders using Shoonya MTF?

Shoonya currently says MTF orders can be used with AMO, GTT and pre-market or post-market sessions, subject to stock eligibility and available margin.

How does FIFO work for Shoonya MTF trades?

Shoonya says MTF trades are treated as delivery trades for tax and P&L reporting, with FIFO applied at the demat level. If the same stock is accumulated across multiple dates and partially sold, FIFO can affect which funded quantity is considered exited first.

Does Shoonya provide an MTF calculator?

Yes. Shoonya's current MTF page provides a calculator using your capital, stock price and holding period to estimate buying power, Shoonya funding, number of shares and total interest cost before the trade.

What happens when there is a Shoonya MTF margin shortfall?

Shoonya can require additional margin when available capital becomes insufficient for a funded position. Its MTF pricing specifically lists invocation charges for cases where margin shortfall forces liquidation, so shortfall events should be recorded with the trade.

What should I track in a Shoonya MTF trading journal?

Track position value, your capital, Shoonya-funded amount, margin percentage, funded days, applicable daily interest, stock eligibility, DDPI pledge status, brokerage, pledge or invocation charges, partial exits, delivery conversion, margin events, gross P&L and final net P&L.

Can QbarTrade be used as a Shoonya MTF trading journal?

Yes. QbarTrade can keep your own capital, Shoonya-funded amount, holding period, recorded interest, pledge events, costs, notes and final net result together so funded positions can be reviewed separately from ordinary delivery trades.
