Hi @kuldeep @Sameet @Divyesh @Poornima @PravinJ

Zerodha applies 8% haircut for liquidbees. They say they are following the VAR stipulated by the exchange.

Dhan applies 10% haricut for liquidbees. Dhan seems to be following the clearing corporation 10% hair cut specification. Is there a possibility to reduce the hair cut to 8% following the zerodha VAR method.

Hi @t7support Dhan offers margin benefit across segments (Cash, F&O, Currency and Commodities) and also across exchanges (BSE, NSE and MCX) and including Options Buying as well. Don’t think that some of the large discount brokers offer that - there is an element of risk involved.

Having said that, for cash and cash equivalents, I don’t see a reason why we should not match the exchange margin rate. I will still speak with our risk team and review this, its their call at the end of the day.

Adding more: All pledge and unpledge on Dhan is instant, one can sell pledged securities instantly without requiring to unpledge before.

Yes brokers like zerodha doesn’t allow option buying with pledged margin. I am aware of that. Also they have restrictions on buying OTM options which means user doesn’t get the hedge margin benefit at the time of placing a hedged sell strategy.

Ya it would be nice if we get 2% less haircut

Yes aware of that and certainly a great feature to have.

There are many reasons which prompted me to switch from Zerodha to Dhan. You guys are doing a great job. I hope to stick with Dhan for a very long time into the future.

Hi @PravinJ, any word from your risk team on reducing the haircut on liquidbees to 8% from 10% ?

@PravinJ, Just checked and it has been reduced to 8%. Thanks !!!

Did the haircut for liquidbees increase to 10% again ?

Dear @t7support ,

Yes , it has increased. This is because clearing house var is 10% & since we have to do a real time allocation, we are unable provide 8% haircut benefit.

@Pranita as pointed out earlier NSE VAR is only 8%. So it was earlier reduced to 8%. Now why did Dhan switch back to clearing corporation VAR ?

Hey@t7support,

We are now required to do real time allocation. Shares that you pledge are immediately re pledged with exchange and we receive margins after 10% haircut only. Providing any haircuts will lead to a real time shortfall.
