Try this

    UIView *paddingView           = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 10, 20)];
    self.yourtextField.leftView             = paddingView;
    self.yourtextField.leftViewMode         = UITextFieldViewModeAlways;

What id I want to indent from top – Burhanuddin Sunelwala May 10 '13 at 06:32
This is a hacky solution. The real solution is to override textRectForBounds: and editingRectForBounds: as Paul.s answered. What if you want to make use of that left view? – jomafer Jul 05 '16 at 12:34

Create a subclass and override textRectForBounds: and editingRectForBounds:. Your new implementations may look something like

- (CGRect)textRectForBounds:(CGRect)bounds;
{
    return CGRectInset([super textRectForBounds:bounds], 10.f, 0.f);
}

- (CGRect)editingRectForBounds:(CGRect)bounds;
{
    return CGRectInset([super editingRectForBounds:bounds], 10.f, 0.f);
}

Just try like this simple method....

textfield.frame = CGRectMake(textfield.frame.origin.x+10, textfield.frame.origin.y, textfield.frame.size.width, textfield.frame.size.height);
