What securities are considered as cash equivalent for margins?

For the purpose of trading margins, the exchange defines certain securities that can be considered as cash-equivalent collateral and non-cash-equivalent. Cash equivalent securities include liquid funds, SGBs, selected bonds, etc., which must be pledged to get margins. The list is updated by the exchange from time to time. Click here for the Cash Equivalent List.

Non-cash equivalents are assets other than cash that can be used to meet margin requirements. These assets, like stocks, mutual funds, or ETFs, are pledged as collateral, and their value is used to cover part of the required margin.
