• Brokerage is usually negotiable: Several of you trying to choose an online broker and open an online
trading account must have been frustrated trying to search for the exact brokerage charges charged by various
online brokers. But the fact is the brokerage charged by the same broker varies and in several cases is
negotiable. For example if you go and tell a brokerage house that you are going to deposit 2 lakh rupees and
try to convince them you are going to trade heavily, they might consider reducing your brokerage. That is why
in the above table you will find only a range for the brokerage charges in some cases. But that should be
enough to get an idea.
• Effective brokerage with taxes is more: In addition to the above brokerage charges you will have to
pay STT (Securities Transaction Tax) at the rate or 0.02% of the total transaction amount. You will also be
charged 12.5% Service Tax on the brokerage amount (and not on the transaction amount). For example, if
your brokerage is 0.50% for delivery and you do a delivery transaction of Rs.100/- then the total brokerage
you pay is
0.50 (brokerage) + 0.02 (stt) + 0.063 (service tax) = 0.58 .
Thus your effective brokerage (including all taxes) will be 0.58%. Similarly for brokerage on intraday
transactions.
• One may also like to compare brokerages charged by the online brokers mentioned above for trading in futures
and options. I have traded options on SBICAP securities and have been charged Rs.100/- flat brokerage fee for
every options trade. I will probably find out and also add a comparison table for brokerage charges for trading
derivatives (futures and options) later, if i see enough people google searching for the same. For futures, some
online brokers charge different brokerage for different legs of the trade, i.e. different for buy and sell trade.
• Except SBICAP Securities, I do not have any other trading account. So my information is gathered from
indirect sources. In case there are any inacurracies please let me know by posting a comment.

dude nice work....but can u suggest the better firm in
terms of online trading software, bcoz i heard that there is problem with icici direct soft..it often
breaks down....and how is SBICAP securities?
iinvestor December 19, 2008 7:51 PM
@anonymous
I have had no problems with software or connection of sbicap securities. However there are
minor problems for example, it doesn't work on linux (works fine) in windows) etc. Also if you
are going to do heavy intraday trading then perhaps you can also talk to someone who has
accounts with sharekhan, or motilal oswal and other brokers.
Anonymous February 7, 2009 9:59 PM
"I have traded options on SBICAP securities and have been charged Rs.100/- flat brokerage
fee for every options trade. "

@anon it is hard for me to give a definite answer or guidance. All i can say is that I am pretty
happy with sbicap securities. However if you are planning to do intraday trading then perhaps
sharekhan or other brokerage firm would be better. This comes with a disclaimer that i have
personally not tried sharekhan.
Prasad April 11, 2009 8:13 PM
Great job iinvestor, the info you have provided is amazing. Thanks a lot.
I would like to provide feedback for icicidirect here: the brokerage for icicidirect is 0.76% The
total incl taxes comes to 0.85%
The brokerage is more when you sell shares received through an IPO. (No brokerage for
shares alloted through IPO)
I have put up with ICICI for almost 4 years now but now I have had enough of their bullshit.
The customer service sucks and they arbitrarily charge you without prior notice. This is true
with ALL icici products (I have a savings ac, demat-cum-trading ac, a housing loan and credit
card) and have always had issues regarding charges...and the customer care is truly good at
playing around with words....for people who do not understand the english language well, they
truly mislead you, that is, if you get through to them in the first place.
Now that SBI is coming up well, I am really happy to see a nationalised bank providing at par
services. I have decided to shift all that I can to SBI. I really feel safe because with SBI, what
you see is what you get... and they dont play around with words.
In fact, thats what made me visit your site in the first place...thank you once again.
Just a couple of questions:
1. Does SBICAPSEC/Motilal Oswal allow you to trade in all shares of BSE and NSE (at leastthose covered by ICICIDirect) or are there any limitations?
2. Can you allocate money to your sbicapsec demat/trading account from an SBI NRE
account? (In case you have this info)
Thanks in advance,
Prasad

Yes, you can trade in shares on NSE as well as BSE, just be careful to choose this option
when you open an account.
I am not aware of info about NRE account.
Rupesh May 20, 2009 10:25 AM
this is truly a great review...
appreciate your work a lot.
Please correct SBI intrday chrges,
it is 0.15% or 5 paise whichever is higher (thats what SBI customer care told me)
Shailesh Joshi May 24, 2009 12:39 AM
Hello,
do you have to choose (for SBICAP) for which specific exchange you want to open a trading
account? What if someone wants to trade on the BSE and the NSE simultaneously?
Russell May 26, 2009 12:26 AM
I am really thankfull to you for this valuable information. I dont what is your name but i really
apprecate your efforts. This information was very helpfull to me to figure out how much

Hello,
I have opened account with sbi capsecurities and I am very much impressed with their
services, even their customer service is very good. I normally do trading in F&O segment andfor intraday they charge 50 rupees irrespective of the scrip and 100 rupees if you don't square
off your position on the same day, which is far more better than many of the brokerage
houses..

aloka July 13, 2009 10:16 PM
hi sir
nice review,
but let me tell all people that i'm using HDFC sec and they are really best in all aspect.
whether tarding website, cust care etc.
i recently opened acc with Almondz global. they too r good
with brok of .30 for delivery and .02 for i/d and would dec after my transactions inc.
one good thing is that u have a limit of 10 times of the first amout of cheque you give them.
but drawbak is that only axis, hdfc and icici bank is linked for online fund transfer from acc. for
rest banks you have to give cheques for trading limits
ER July 14, 2009 12:13 PM
I notice SBICAPSEC rates quoted are for online and highest slab. I think the normal rate they
charge for offline is 0.35 % for delivery and 0.05 % for intra day per leg. I know some guys
who get better rates based on business given.
Regarding Prasad 'question'- you can allocate funds from NRE account only if you have an
8/6/2019 Investo Blog
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/investo-blog 7/16
NRI trading account. Else suggest you transfer money from NRE to domestic bank account
and then allocate.

Dear Mr. manoj there is no MMC for HDFC sec.
but one thing they leg behind is the heavy brok structure, they charge min Rs 25 for each
trade wither I/D or Del based.
and besides that they also charge monthly DP charge which is about 0.04% of total turnover.
But they also give complete peace of mind as the trading website is having option for
IPO/FD/MF and that too at very good speed:)

posts) and good service you can prefer them also.

timepass product from IDBI.
Recently checked many brokarage houses like Angel, Religere, Sherkhan, i opened account
in indiainfoline because
- brokarage ( .25 and .025)
- Life time demat ( no yearly AMC charge like 300 rs in others)- Good software ( i am using webbased as installed s/w will not work in office :P )
- So far good support

hi sun
the brokerage house depends upon the area u live, which all brokers are present there
people spending of financial productswhich all other brok houses present there.
if u want to take any brok house first be its customer for a month or so or ask any of its
customer about the service quality
because here in market many big names are poor in service
moreover big clients go for lower brokerage and small clients go for office looks, services
offered etc

For ex. when i buy Cals Refineries @ Rs 0.32 paisa i have to pay 5 paisa as brokerage so
that the buying cost should be Rs0.37 paisa (that is 15% brokerage).
so i can not buy these small penny stocks. i know i have to change my broker.
someone help me which broker house offering low and brokerage charges based on amount
which i invest and not based on per share basis.

Instead of "% based charges", better go for "per transaction based charges"... otherwise the
earlier one will suck our money, whether we make profit or not, since it is charged based on
the overall transaction amount, irrespective of whether one make a profit/loss....
do check RK global.. which is charging Rs.9/- per transaction...
