Does Sahi provide leverage for delivery/carry over positions?

Sahi provides margin in line with the requirements specified by the Stock Exchanges and Sahi's own Risk Policy. You can easily view the margin requirements for each order directly on the order placement screen before finalising your trade.

Sahi does not provide any additional leverage for equity delivery (CNC) purchases or for carry-forward F&O (NRML) positions beyond what the exchange mandates.

Position Type

Leverage / Margin Policy

Equity Delivery (CNC)

No leverage. Full purchase amount required. If a stock is priced at ₹500 and you want to buy 10 shares, you need ₹5,000 in your account.

Carry-Forward F&O — Futures (NRML)

Exchange-defined SPAN + Exposure margin only. Sahi does not provide additional leverage on top of this.

Carry-Forward F&O — Short Options (NRML)

Exchange-defined SPAN + Exposure margin. No leverage beyond exchange norms.

Carry-Forward F&O — Long Options (NRML)

Full premium required upfront. No margin or leverage facility on option buying.

Note: SEBI has explicitly prohibited brokers from offering additional leverage for equity delivery and F&O carry-forward positions. Sahi complies fully with these regulations. Any broker offering leverage beyond exchange-defined margins for these position types would be in violation of SEBI regulations.
