Hmmm...Isn't that a bit high ? I thought the interest rate on a "Loan Against Shares" used to be about 10-12%.

Always remember John Maynard Keynes' words: “The market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent.”

Though it's not related directly to this topic, many promoters seem to have fallen for borrowing against shares.....Vijay Sheth may dilute Great Offshore stake

The root of Vijay Sheth’s problems can be traced back to June last year when he pledged most of his 16% stake to IL&FS and Motilal Oswal. A banker said his outstanding is Rs 200 crore to IL&FS alone. His outstanding to Motilal Oswal could not be ascertained though an industry source said it could be Rs 75-100 crore. At the ruling market price of Rs 830-Rs 850 a share, his shareholding in June last year was worth Rs 500 crore.

The problem began when the lenders gave margin calls as the valuation of the collateral fell below the loan amount. This has put Mr Sheth in a fix as he does not have more shares to put up as collateral. The valuation of the collateral is around Rs 175 crore at Thursday’s price of the stock.

I was checking icicibank for loan against shares. The approved list of shares is not available on website. I doubt whether TEDXI stocks are part of their approved list since these are small/mid caps. Any one has any idea/details about loan against shares from icici bank?

Hi Vijay,
I have opened a LAS(Loan against share) account wih ICICI recently just to keep the extra money in my hand in case market falls. You can get up to 20 lakhs as loan. I haven't used them so far.  The interest rate is 13% for which I signed up. It has moved up to 13.5% now.
 
Hawkins and Page are not in the list of approved shares. I can send you the list of scripts. Please pm me your perosnal mailid.
 
Regards,
Raj
