An Example to Understand Pay Later (MTF) Better

Say you want to buy 30,000 shares of Reliance Industries Ltd. currently trading at a market price of ₹2,340. Your total trade value comes to ₹7.02 crore.

To fund the balance ₹5.26 crore, you can use m.Stock  Pay Later (MTF). m.Stock provides 75% funding in Reliance Industries Ltd.

In the above case, since the funding amount is above ₹5 crore, the applicable interest rate will be 6.99% p.a. Now suppose you hold this position for one year wherein the stock gains 20% and moves to ₹2,808.
