Did you know that corporate actions such as dividends, bonuses, splits, and rights issues can affect your MTF position? But before we have a look at that, let’s go back to the basics of the Margin Trading Facility (MTF).

MTF Basics

When you buy stocks using MTF, you pay only a part of the total transactional value, while the rest is funded by ICICIdirect. It’s important to note that the stocks purchased under MTF are held in your Demat account but remain under the pledge (PL) status since you have not fully paid for these positions.

Now that you understand the basics, let’s explore how corporate actions affect your MTF positions.

Effect of Corporate Actions on MTF Positions

1. Dividends

   You are eligible to receive the full amount of the dividend as long as you hold the stock on the record date.

2. Bonus, Splits, Mergers, or De-mergers

   For corporate actions such as bonuses, splits, mergers, or de-mergers, you must convert your MTF positions to delivery by paying the full amount before the record date. You will be informed about the last date until which you can hold your stock under MTF. After this date, your positions will automatically be squared off.

Rights Issues

You are eligible for rights issues provided you convert your positions from MTF to delivery before the record date.
