Short answer

You can find the list of stocks and mutual funds that can be pledged with Arrow for margins and the applicable haircut percentage by visiting arrow.trade/approved-securities. They are divided into cash and non-cash components. However, some holdings cannot be pledged.

Cash vs non-cash components

Non-cash component securities: You can use collateral margin from non-cash component securities only up to 50% of the margin requirement for your open positions. The exchange requires the remaining 50% as cash or equivalent collateral. Additional utilisation beyond 50% incurs delayed payment charges.

Cash component securities: You can use collateral margin from cash component securities fully towards any margin requirement for your open positions without maintaining separate cash.

Things to keep in mind

The cost of pledging on Arrow is ₹30 + GST per pledge request, irrespective of the quantity pledged. There is no cost for unpledging.

Treasury Bills (T-Bills) with maturities of 364 and 182 days can now be pledged for collateral margin. T-Bills with maturities of 91 days will soon be available.
