5Paisa Margin Plans

Recently, 5Paisa has introduced subscriptions plans charged on a monthly basis and users can get better services depending on the subscribed plan.

5Paisa Span Margin

SPAN or Standardized Portfolio Analysis of Risk is a process used by different stock brokers in India in order to calculate the amount an investor/trader must be kept in his/her trading account while using the concept of exposure to incurring any potential loss in the stock market.

The interesting part is, that there is no single value of SPAN margin and it varies from one scrip to another.

The logic behind that is that every stock has its own level of risk associated with it, based on the industry, stock volatility, competition and any global events for that matter.

5Paisa Exposure Margin

Exposure margin is an additional level of margin that is used above span margin. Also, note that both Span margin and exposure margin constitute the initial margin and just one of these do not mean the total margin.

Now, lets quickly jump to see what values of margin you get from 5Paisa at Span and Exposure levels.
