How it works
Understanding Trading Charges
Every trade involves multiple charges that reduce your profits. Understanding these charges helps you plan better trading strategies.
Key Trading Charges:
- Brokerage: Fee charged by broker (typically 0.01-0.05% or flat fee)
- STT: Securities Transaction Tax levied by government
- Exchange Charges: Fees charged by NSE/BSE
- GST: 18% tax on brokerage and transaction charges
- Stamp Duty: State tax on purchase transactions
Why are there so many charges in trading?
Trading involves multiple entities - brokers, exchanges, regulators (SEBI), and government. Each entity charges fees for their services and regulatory compliance.
Can I reduce trading charges?
You can choose discount brokers with lower brokerage, reduce trading frequency, and maintain larger position sizes to reduce per-share cost impact.
Are charges same for all segments?
No, charges vary by segment. STT is different for equity, futures, and options. Always check your broker's charge structure.
