Margin lending receivables are amounts owed to the Group from customers as a result of borrowings by such customers against the value of qualifying securities, primarily for the purpose of purchasing additional securities. Amounts may fluctuate from date to date as overall client balances change as a result of market levels, client positioning and leverage. Credit exposures arising from margin lending activities are generally mitigated by their short-term nature, the value of collateral held and the Group's right to call for margin when collateral values decline.

The fair value of collateral held by the Group under margin loans as of September 30, 2024, and March 31, 2024 was $5,845,654 and $7,579,057, respectively. As of September 30, 2024, and March 31, 2024, collateral from single counterparty comprised $2,934,515 and $2,516,108, 50% and 33% of the total collateral value, respectively. At the same time margin lending receivable from single counterparty comprised $680,078 and $399,196, respectively.
For both individual and institutional brokerage clients, the Group may enter into arrangements for securities financing transactions in respect of financial instruments held by the Group on behalf of the client or may use such financial instruments for the Group's own account or the account of another client. The Group maintains omnibus brokerage accounts for certain institutional brokerage clients, in which transactions of the underlying clients of such institutional clients are combined in a single account with us. As noted above, the Group may use the assets within the omnibus accounts to finance, lend, provide credit or provide debt financing or otherwise use and direct the order or manner of assets for financing of other clients of the Group.
As of September 30, 2024, and March 31, 2024, using historical and statistical data, the Group had allowances for brokerage receivables in the amounts of $14,069 and $11,990, respectively.
