With Samco StockPlus, you can unlock that opportunity by using your existing stocks to get additional margin — all without selling them.

What Is StockPlus?

Samco StockPlus lets you use your existing shares as collateral to receive margin for trading in the stock market.

This means you can trade with higher exposure while your investments remain intact. You still continue to earn dividends and benefit from price appreciation. Your shares stay yours while they work harder for you.

Example:

Imagine you hold stocks worth ₹2,00,000.

Instead of selling them to free up cash, you can pledge those shares and instantly receive margin to take new trades—all while continuing to enjoy ownership and future gains.

That’s the power of smart leverage using your assets to seize market opportunities without losing them.

How Does StockPlus Work?

Here’s how StockPlus operates seamlessly:

1. Pledge Your Stocks: Select the shares you’d like to pledge from your holdings.
2. Receive Margin: Get trading limits against those pledged stocks, instantly in your trading account.
3. Unpledge Anytime: Need your shares back? You can unpledge them instantly through the Samco Back Office.
4. Sell Directly: You can even sell pledged stocks directly from your holdings without unpledging first.

Why Use Samco StockPlus?

Here’s what makes StockPlus a smart choice for every trader:

• Retain Your Investments: Continue earning dividends and capital growth while using your stocks as margin.
• Boost Trading Power: Get higher exposure without adding more capital.
• Stay Market-Ready: Instantly access funds to act on opportunities.
• Transparent & Secure: 100% SEBI-compliant with full visibility on charges and valuation.
• Low, Flat Charges: Just ₹30 + GST per ISIN for both pledge and unpledge.

Where Can You Use the Pledge Margin?

With Samco StockPlus, you can use your pledged margin across multiple trading segments on the NSE & BSE exchanges.

For Future and options you can use margin for Cover Orders, Bracket Orders, MIS Orders, and NRML Orders across NSE & CDS segments. For Equity Cash segment you can use margin for Bracket Orders and Cover Orders.

Charges & Interest

Here’s the breakup of charges under Samco StockPlus:

• Pledge Charges: ₹30 + GST per ISIN
• Unpledge Charges: ₹30 + GST per ISIN
• Interest Rate: 0.05% per day

💡 Note: ISIN refers to the unique identification number assigned to each security (for example, one ISIN per company whose shares you pledge).

Example:

Let’s say you pledge shares of Reliance Industries (ISIN: INE002A01018) and Infosys (ISIN: INE009A01021) under StockPlus.

• Pledging both stocks = 2 ISINs × ₹30 = ₹60 + GST
• Later, when you unpledge both = 2 ISINs × ₹30 = ₹60 + GST

So in total, you’ll pay ₹120 + GST for both pledge and unpledge actions.

Introducing the Instant Pledge Benefit

To make StockPlus even more efficient, Samco has introduced the Instant Pledge Benefit — a game-changing upgrade for faster access.

Earlier, traders had to wait for their margins to reflect after pledging.

Now, with Instant Pledge, the margin benefit is credited immediately saving you precious time during fast-moving markets.

Here’s what you get:

• Instant Margin Access: Margin is credited the moment you pledge your stocks.
• Instant Unpledge: Release your holdings anytime through the Samco Back Office.
• Sell Without Unpledging: Execute trades directly from your holdings — no extra steps needed.

What is trading with margin against shares?

As a normal practice, limits for trading in the stock market are given only against bank funds i.e. funds transferred from a client’s bank account. Using the money transferred from the bank to his/her trading account, a client can trade in all segments. 

However, the majority of the funds of a client are invested in stocks. Thus the money gets locked and even though clients have assets in the form of shares, they are not able to make new trades. Thus to unlock this value hidden in the stock portfolio of a client, a client can pledge his shares to avail trading limits against the shares. 

This concept of availing margin against pledged shares held in one’s demat account is known as “Margin Against Shares“. The cash margin required for trading is substituted with shares.

All the client needs to do is to pledge his/her shares with the broker to avail the credit against them. The broker will deduct a portion known as a haircut to adjust for the risk due to the price fluctuation of the stock. 

For example, if a client has 10 shares of Reliance at the current market price of Rs 1000 making the total portfolio value of Rs 10,000 and the haircut is 40%, the client can get a limit for only 60% of the total value of the shares i.e. Rs 6000. The client can trade for a further Rs 6000 in his account.

If there are any debits or losses in the client’s account, such shortfall can be later adjusted by selling the pledged shares. All corporate actions for the shares like bonuses or dividends belong to the client.

As all investors know, it is difficult to meet margin obligations when a large part of your Capital is locked up in shares lying in your Demat Account. This causes many traders & investors to scale down their trading or even lose out on trades that could have been immensely profitable!
