On Sahi, you can check the exact margin requirements for each order right on the order placement screen before confirming the trade. For example, if you’re buying a stock for delivery at ₹100, you'll need the full ₹100 since it has a leverage of 1X. But if you're trading the same stock on an intraday basis, your margin requirement may be just ₹20, as the position will be squared off by the end of the trading session—giving you a 5X leverage advantage.
