What is Haircut?
Haircut is the arbitrary reduction in the value of a security to calculate the risk cover. Haircut is applied on any collateral kept with us for additional margin. The haircut percentage decides how much value is blocked by us when the DP to Pledge or EMF facility is used. The balance amount is then released to the client as a limit against shares.
