Stock Broking
Margin (Leverage)
Broker-funded top-up that multiplies both gains and losses.
Margin lets you take positions larger than your balance — e.g. 5x intraday leverage turns ₹20,000 into ₹1,00,000 of exposure. Losses scale identically, and shortfalls attract penalty plus interest. Intraday leverage is the single fastest way beginners blow up accounts.
Example
₹20,000 with 5x leverage controls ₹1L — a 2% adverse move costs you 10% of capital.
