Minimum 40% Haircut on Shares & ETFs – What Does It Mean?

RBI has increased the margin requirement (haircut) on shares & ETFs to minimum 40%.


Simple Meaning:

If you want to take a loan by pledging shares/ETFs:


Earlier 👉 You could get higher loan value

Now 👉 You will get only 60% loan value

Example:

If your portfolio is ₹1,00,000

Earlier you may have received ₹70–80k loan

Now maximum ≈ ₹60,000


🎯 Why RBI Did This?

🔥 To reduce excess speculation

🔥 To control borrowed money in stock market

🔥 To protect retail investors

🔥 To maintain financial stability


Stock market investment should come from Savings, not from Loans.

💡 What It Means For Investors?

✅ Less leverage

✅ Lower risk of forced selling

✅ Healthier market structure


❌ Short-term liquidity impact possible


Long term? → Positive for market stability 👍


Smart money grows from discipline, not leverage.

Market is for investors, not gamblers.
