The transactions are carried out under the operation of <a href=\"https:\/\/uat1.gettogetherfinance.com\/blog\/national-stock-exchange-nse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">National Stock Exchange<\/a> where agreements are signed by the parties to maintain the security of lenders.

This can only be done through an Authorized Intermediary. Brokerage charges are borne by the parties involved in the process. The two parties involved in the SLB mechanism are lenders and borrowers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lender\"><\/span>Lender<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A long term investor who does not have an active portfolio can lend the shares by charging a fee which depends on demand and time value. A lender can lend the stock to have a supplement income where the lending amount is not restricted. Basically lenders include insurance companies, banks, <a href=\"https:\/\/uat1.gettogetherfinance.com\/blog\/best-mutual-funds-to-invest\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">mutual funds<\/a>, retail investors, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Borrower\"><\/span>Borrower<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Borrower is an institution or an investor who borrows from a lender for the purpose of <a href=\"https:\/\/uat1.gettogetherfinance.com\/blog\/short-covering-and-long-unwinding\/#:~:text=Short%20sellers%20close%20their%20holdings,the%20shares%20they%20sold%20short.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">short selling<\/a>.

The participants in SLBM that are lenders and borrowers must get themselves registered with a stock exchange. The exchange is responsible to match the borrower\u2019s request for securities from the lending pool. The loan is initiated after the matching process is done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For instance;<\/strong> if an investor wants to lend 100 shares of ABC stock and another participant is willing to buy the shares at Rs3 for a month. So, the return for the lender would be Rs 36 per share for a year without the risks associated.
