Frequently Asked Questions

What is STT and who pays it?

STT (Securities Transaction Tax) is a tax levied by the government on securities transactions. It's automatically deducted from your account. For delivery trades, it's 0.1% on the sell side. For intraday, it's 0.025% on both buy and sell.

Do discount brokers have hidden charges?

Reputable discount brokers are transparent about charges. They typically charge flat ₹10-20 per trade instead of percentage-based brokerage. However, STT, stamp duty, exchange charges, and GST apply to all brokers regardless of their pricing model.

How much do charges impact intraday trading profits?

For intraday trading with small profit margins, charges can significantly eat into profits. A 0.5% intraday profit might become 0.3% after all charges. This is why successful intraday traders target larger percentage moves.

Are charges different for BSE and NSE?

Yes, BSE charges 0.00275% transaction charges compared to NSE's 0.00325%. However, NSE has better liquidity and tighter spreads, which often offsets the slightly higher charges.

Can I claim GST input credit on trading charges?

Individual traders and investors cannot claim GST input credit. Only businesses registered under GST for trading as their business activity can claim input credit on brokerage GST.
