Now let’s assume that you are willing to trade in a stock having a share price of ₹100 per share. Then in ₹1000, you can trade in 10 stocks, but with 16000, you can actually 160 stocks.

Apart from the intraday, you can avail a little margin for other segments like equity, delivery, futures (up to 4x), options (up to 4x).
