How does the “loan for equity” facility work?
Loan Against Shares is a facility where people can take loans against shares in their Demat account as collateral. The maximum amount that an individual can avail is determined by a percentage of the total market value of the shares present in the individual’s portfolio.
In India, banks can lend a maximum of Rs. 20 Lakh under a single entity under the LAS facility. However, being a Non-Banking Finance Company (NBFC), Tata Capital can offer up to Rs. 5 Crore credit under the LAS facility. Tata Capital is one of the first NBFCs to offer an end-to-end integrated digital onboarding experience for equity-based loans.
