Can i use this collateral to trade in EQUITY
For value of 40000 in MIS orders(intraday)

@Harsh_49449929 -

You cannot pledge external mutual/index funds. We recommend transferring them to Upstox to avoid exit load or tax implications.

And yes, once pledged, the collateral margin can be used for MIS (intraday equity) trading, and you can avail up to 4x margin based on the haircut applicable.
