General
What is MarginPlant?
MarginPlant is a simulated prop-firm evaluation platform built for Indian intraday traders. You trade with virtual capital under a clear set of rules and earn a reward when you complete the evaluation successfully. We are not a broker, and we do not execute live trades on the NSE or BSE.
How does MarginPlant work?
You choose a plan, trade NIFTY, BANKNIFTY, or SENSEX intraday inside our risk rules, and aim to reach a profit target without breaching your daily or maximum loss limits. Clear it over the minimum number of trading days, complete a one-time KYC, and your performance-based reward is paid to your bank account.
Is MarginPlant a real trading platform?
It's a real evaluation platform running on a fully simulated trading environment. The prices and instruments mirror the live market, but no order you place is sent to an exchange. You're being measured on your trading skill and discipline, not trading live capital.
Is this legal in India?
We operate as a provider of skill-based trading evaluations and reward simulated performance — we are not a broker, we do not take deposits to trade on your behalf, and we do not give investment advice. Your own tax obligations on any reward are yours to manage, so keep your records and consult a CA. (Confirm exact regulatory wording with a lawyer before publishing.)
Who is this platform for?
Indian intraday traders who know index options and want to prove their edge without risking a large personal account. Whether you trade NIFTY scalps or ride BANKNIFTY momentum, if you can stay disciplined inside the rules, this is built for you.
Is this suitable for beginners?
You can start as a beginner, but be honest with yourself first. The rules reward discipline and consistency, which take practice. If you're still learning, the smaller account sizes and the 2-Step route are a gentler, cheaper place to build that discipline.
Why choose MarginPlant over others?
Three reasons: every rule and price is published upfront with no surprises after checkout; we focus only on the Indian indices you actually trade instead of cluttering the platform; and payouts go straight to your Indian bank with support that genuinely replies on WhatsApp.
Is MarginPlant safe and trustworthy?
We've built trust into the model itself. The rules don't change after you pay, your fee comes back on your first payout, and payouts are processed quickly to a verified bank account after KYC. We'd rather earn a long-term trader than win once and lose your trust.
Trading
What can I trade?
NIFTY, BANKNIFTY, and SENSEX options — both buying and selling. Futures, overnight positions, copy trading, and algo trading are not allowed.
What are the trading hours?
9:15 AM to 3:30 PM IST on market days, with a mandatory square-off of all positions by 3:15 PM. No weekends or exchange holidays.
Can I hold positions overnight?
No. MarginPlant is strictly intraday. Everything must be closed before 3:15 PM IST each day.
Can I trade the news — Budget day, RBI policy, results?
Yes on the 1-Step and 2-Step. [On Instant accounts, news trading is restricted to manage risk — confirm and align with the Challenges page.]
What's the difference between Daily Drawdown and Max Drawdown?
Daily Drawdown is your single-day loss limit and resets at 9:15 AM every trading day. Max Drawdown is your total loss limit measured from your peak balance and does not reset until you pass.
Payouts
How do I get paid?
Pass your evaluation, complete a one-time KYC, and request your payout. Rewards are sent directly to your verified Indian bank account.
How fast are payouts?
Most are processed within [24 hours] of a verified request. (set your real timeframe)
Do I need to pay tax on my reward?
Possibly — rewards are income, and your tax depends on your situation. We don't deduct it for you and we're not your accountant. Keep your statements and talk to a CA.
Are there any payout fees?
[No fee from our side. Your bank's standard charges may apply.] (confirm)
Account
What do I need to complete KYC?
[PAN and a government-issued photo ID, plus your bank details for the payout.] It's a one-time process before your first withdrawal.
What happens if I breach a rule?
The evaluation ends. You can buy a discounted reset and start again on a fresh balance, or purchase a new plan.
Can I hold more than one account?
[State your policy — e.g. yes, up to a combined allocation cap, subject to the rules.]
How do I contact support?
WhatsApp and email, in English and Hindi, during [9 AM–9 PM IST].
