The ‘Margin Used ’ reflects the funds used for trading from your available balance. This may happen in the following scenarios:
- Buying stock in the Equity Delivery segment.
- Buying or short-selling stock in the Equity Intraday segment.
- Trading Futures & Options (Intraday or Delivery).
- Carrying forward an open position for Futures or Options (on the short side).
When you sell a delivery position, the receivable amount appears as a negative ‘Margin Used.’ This occurs when:
- You sell stock in the Equity Delivery segment (from your Demat account).
- You sell a position (on the buy-side) in the Options segment.
