Things You Should Know About Loan Against Mutual Funds

Everything you need to know before and after availing an overdraft loan against mutual funds.
How Can We Help?

The mutual funds in the overdraft account are revalued everyday. If the value of your mutual funds drops, the eligible limit of your overdraft account also drops, (revised collateral value x LTV%). If the utilized amount is more than the revised eligible limit, the difference between the eligible limit and the utilized amount is considered to be overdue. In such cases a demand is made asking the borrower to clear the overdue amount either by making payment towards the overdue amount or pledging additional mutual funds. This is known as a margin call. The borrower needs to clear the overdues in stipulated time as per below table. If their value increases, your eligible limit automatically increases and if utilised amount is less than revised eligible limit then your account will not have overdue amount.

Example: Arun has pledged equity mutual funds of worth Rs.10 lakhs and has created an OD account with eligible loan limit of Rs.4.5 lakhs (45% of 10 lakhs). Arun has utilized this entire limit by withdrawing Rs.4.5 lakh. If the value of the pledged mutual funds drops to Rs.9.5 Lakhs due to market volatility. The eligible limit is revised to Rs.4,27,500 (45% of 9.5 lakhs). Since the utilized amount is more than the eligible amount, Arun will receive a margin call of Rs.22,500 (4,50,000-4,27,500). Since the utilized amount falls within the initial range (45 to 50%) as shown in the table below, he has a grace period of 60 days to clear the overdue amount in his loan account.

Sr. No Equity Mutual Funds LTV Debt Mutual Funds LTV No. of days to regulate
1. >45% - 60 days
2. >50% >80% 7 days
3. >55% >85% 5 days
4. >60% >90% 3 days
5. >65% >95% 1 day

An interest rate of 10.5% p.a. is charged only on the utilized amount and for the number of days you utilize the amount. The interest is calculated on the utilized amount daily at the end of day, Interest = (utilized amount x interest rate)/ 365. The interest will be accrued till the end of month and will be due on 1st working day of every month. The same will be debited on the 3rd working day of next month from your registered Bank Account via NACH mandate. You will be notified on your registered email ID to maintain sufficient balance.

Note: Payments made via Pay Now facility will not be adjusted against the interest amount.

Example: Vijay availed a loan against securities by pledging equity securities of value Rs.10 lakhs and got an eligible limit of Rs.4.5 lakhs (assuming the pledged securities have an LTV of 45%). He made a withdrawal of Rs.1 lakh on 5th Jan 23 and Rs.1 lakh on 10th Jan 23. Vijay repaid Rs.1 lakh on 20th Jan 23 and Rs.1 lakh on 25th Jan 23. Vijay will receive an intimation on 1st Feb 23 to maintain sufficient balance to pay interest of (10.5% x 5 x 1,00,000)/365 + (10.5% x 10 x 2,00,000)/365 + (10.5% x 5 x1,00,000)/365 = Rs.863 which will be auto-debited on the 3rd Feb 23.

Example: Arun has availed loan against mutual funds by lien marking or pledging equity mutual funds worth Rs 10 lakhs. The eligible limit of his account is Rs 4.5 lakhs (10 lakhs x 45% LTV). If the value of underlying mutual funds drop to 9.5 lakhs, the revised eligible limit will drop to 4.05 lakhs (9.5 lakhs x 45% LTV).
