If you want to trade for Intraday or in Derivative segments then you need Exposure. It simply means the Value of Shares you can trade with your money. Exposure varies from 1-15 times depending upon the category of the scrip.

For example, if a broker provides up to 15 times Exposure. It means you can trade up to Rs. 1.5 Lacs with only Rs. 10000 as Margin.

Each broker offers different exposure for the same trading instrument. It depends on the risk broker is willing to take. Higher exposure results into higher risk for the broker. Stock exchange sets the limit of minimum exposure needed for particular scrip.

Note: The words exposure, leverage, margin, and limit are sometimes used for the same purpose though they have a slightly different meaning.
