The anatomy of trading charges in India
When you take a trade, you aren't just paying your broker. You are paying several entities:
- 1. Brokerage: The fee charged by Zerodha, Groww, Upstox, etc. Usually ₹20 per executed order.
- 2. STT (Securities Transaction Tax): Charged by the Government of India. For options, it was recently increased to 0.1% on the sell side premium. For intraday equity, it is 0.025% on the sell side.
- 3. Exchange Transaction Charges: Charged by NSE/BSE for using their infrastructure.
- 4. Stamp Duty & SEBI Charges: Minor fractional percentages charged by the state and the regulator.
- 5. GST: 18% tax calculated on the total of (Brokerage + Exchange Charges + SEBI Charges).
