Brokerage FAQs
Which broker has the lowest brokerage in India?
For delivery trades, several brokers charge ₹0; for intraday and F&O the cheapest listed flat rates are ₹10–₹20 per order, with slab plans going lower for small trades. Use the table above — the “lowest” badge marks the cheapest listed figure per column — then check the brokerage calculator for the true cost including STT, exchange, SEBI, GST and stamp duty.
Is ₹0 delivery brokerage really free?
Brokerage is zero, but statutory charges still apply: STT, exchange transaction charges, SEBI fees, GST and stamp duty are levied on every trade no matter which broker you use. DP charges also apply when shares leave your demat on a sell.
What is the difference between flat and percentage brokerage?
Flat brokerage (e.g. ₹20 per order) costs the same whatever your trade size; percentage brokerage (e.g. 0.03%) scales with turnover and is usually cheaper for small orders. Several brokers combine both: a flat fee capped at a percentage.
How often is this comparison updated?
Fee figures are re-checked against official broker pricing pages; every value carries a verification date on its broker review page. Figures we haven't re-verified yet are marked † in the table.
