Multiple scenarios might lead to your Pay Later (MTF) position not reflecting on your position Tab.   Funding Amount changes:   The funding amount is based on the VAR margin defined by exchange. This keeps on changing. If the VAR margin % is increased, then the m. Stock funding value also changes. In some cases, the funding value from m.Stock can go down to 0. You will then have to sustain the entire position value, i.e., 100% funding would have to be from your end. In this scenario, Risk Management System (RMS) will convert your position to delivery and the position value will be recovered from your ledger. In case of insufficient funds, your ledger will go into debt. Therefore, if your Pay Later (MTF) position is not reflected, check your portfolio instead of the Position tab.   Corporate Action/Scrip group changed to T2T:   In case of corporate action, you will receive an email from m.Stock to inform you about the effect of the corporate action. Your position will be squared off if the suggested action is not taken within the timeframe explained in the email communication.   

21. Why is my ‘Available funds to Trade’ balance showing as negative after trading under the Pay Later (MTF) option? Your ‘Available to Trade’ balance might be negative because your Pay Later (MTF) position has been converted to INVEST/Delivery trade.  When this happens, you need to fulfil the delivery trade obligation by paying a 100% margin. Since your margin gets utilized against your Pay Later (MTF) fulfilment, (Pay Later (MTF) to Invest trade conversation) your ledger will reflect negatively. If there is an MTM loss on the trading day and the margin requirement is not fulfilled, then certain quantities may get converted to INVEST. 

 22. What is the difference between Pay Later (MTF) and Pledge Shares? In Pay Later(MTF), you get funding from m.Stock for buying stocks in the share market. You can use this capital to undertake delivery trades. However, in Pledge Shares, you pledge your existing (approved) stocks with the broker and in exchange, you receive funding (margin). With this funding, you can trade in Intraday, Futures & Options and pay later (MTF) Margin Pledge Interest:   Pledge Shares lets you pledge your existing stocks (from the approved list) with your broker to get funds or margin for trading. A small deduction called a haircut applies (each stock has a set percentage as per the broker’s risk policy). For example: If you want to buy shares worth ₹1 lakh but don’t have enough cash, and you have stocks worth ₹1.25 lakh in your Demat account, you can pledge them. If the haircut is 20%, you’ll get ₹1 lakh as margin. While, interest of 9.99% p.a.  is applicable on Margin pledge as an when you utilize the collateral limit. So, if you take funding worth ₹100, you will pay 9.99% interest in a year, which is 0.0274% in a day. To elaborate, here are 3 scenarios: Value of existing stock portfolio Haircut Funding received after haircut Margin Pledge Interest payable (9.99% p.a.) ₹10,000 10% ₹9,000 Rs.899 ₹1,00,000 15% ₹85,000 Rs. 8492 ₹10,00,000 20% ₹8,00,000 Rs.79920 For more details, please refer below link: https://www.mstock.com/margin-pledge   For additional clarity, please refer to the video: https://youtu.be/ZuiIqz8asxc
