Discount brokers in India are expanding their revenue channels by offering margin trade funding (MTF) to traders. MTF involves lending money to traders for purchasing more shares, with the financed shares serving as collateral. Traditionally, MTF has been dominated by bank-backed stockbrokers, but now discount brokers like Zerodha, Groww, and Fyers are entering the market. Early movers such as Mstock, Angel One, and 5Paisa have already seen significant revenue growth from their MTF books. Discount brokers are diversifying their product offerings as other revenue sources come under regulatory scrutiny.
