Unlock capital from your portfolio without selling a single share.
Loan Against Securities (LAS) lets you pledge your equity, ETF, or mutual fund holdings as collateral and draw credit instantly. Pay interest only on what you use.
Liquidity in three steps
From pledge to funds in your account — the entire process is electronic and typically same-day.
Pledge your securities
Select eligible equity holdings, ETFs, or mutual fund units as collateral. Pledge happens electronically via CDSL/NSDL mechanisms — securities remain in your demat, not transferred.
Instant credit limit
Based on the LTV haircut for each security type, your credit limit is calculated and approved instantly. Nifty 50 stocks qualify for up to 80% LTV.
Draw down as needed
Transfer funds to your bank or trading account within the same day. You pay interest only on the amount drawn — not the full credit limit. Repay anytime without penalty.
Flexible. Transparent. No surprises.
LAS designed with the trader in mind — retain ownership, stay invested, unlock liquidity.

Atom Trade LAS is facilitated through NBFC partners regulated by RBI. Securities are pledged through CDSL/NSDL mechanisms under the standardised pledge-repledge framework. LTV ratios are indicative and subject to change based on SEBI/RBI directives and market volatility. Interest rates are determined by the NBFC partner at the time of disbursement.
