Lenders offer their securities for lending and receive interest (lending fees).
Borrowers borrow securities for short selling, arbitrage, or hedging purposes.
The transaction is facilitated through stock exchanges (NSE & BSE) in a regulated environment.
Any retail investor, institutional trader, or high-net-worth individual (HNI) holding eligible securities can lend or borrow through SLBM.
Only SEBI-approved stocks listed on NSE & BSE are allowed for lending and borrowing. The stock list is periodically updated by the exchanges.
SLBM contracts are available for tenures ranging from 1 day to 12 months, depending on market demand.
Continue to own the stock while earning additional income.
Retain dividends and corporate benefits if stocks are lent before the record date.
No impact on your long-term investments while earning from idle shares.
To short-sell stocks without owning them.
To avoid settlement failure when shares are not available in their Demat account.
For hedging or arbitrage strategies.
Since SLBM is exchange-cleared, there is no counterparty risk. If the borrower defaults, the exchange arranges for a replacement or compensates the lender as per SEBI guidelines.
Lending fees earned through SLBM are considered income from other sources and are taxable as per individual tax slabs. However, capital gains tax does not apply as the lender retains ownership of the securities.
