In equity delivery, shares are delivered to an investor’s Demat account after the settlement period. That’s why it is called equity delivery. However, equity delivery is also known as delivery trading and long term investing.
For example, let’s say you place an order for 10 HDFC shares on Tuesday with a view of holding onto them for the long term. The trade will be settled on Thursday shortly after which the shares will be delivered to your Demat account.

Leverage In Stock Market
Leverage is a loan that a broker offers to allow traders to take up bigger positions by paying lesser capital. This feature is known as Margin Trading Facility (MTF) or simply margin funding. Leverage is often represented as a multiple like 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X and so on. For example, getting 5X leverage on a trade worth ₹1,00,000 means you’ll pay ₹20,000 and the broker will cover the rest of the ₹80,000.
