What Are the 5 Trading Charges in India?

When you trade stocks in India, 5 different entities charge fees. Most traders only think about brokerage, but the other charges often cost more than the brokerage itself — especially for small trades.

• 1. Brokerage: Fee charged by your broker. Flat-fee brokers (Zerodha, Upstox): ₹20/order or 0.03%, whichever is lower. Full-service brokers (HDFC, ICICI): 0.3-0.5% per trade. Equity Delivery: Many brokers charge 0 brokerage on delivery.
• 2. STT (Securities Transaction Tax): Government tax. Equity Delivery: 0.1% on BUY + 0.1% on SELL. Equity Intraday: 0.025% on SELL side only. F&O: 0.0125% on premium (options), 0.01% on turnover (futures).
• 3. Exchange Transaction Charges: NSE: 0.00322% (equity delivery), 0.00689% (intraday). BSE: slightly different. This is about ₹3.22 on a ₹1 lakh trade.
• 4. GST (18%): Applied on (Brokerage + Exchange charges) combined. Not on STT or stamp duty.
• 5. Stamp Duty: State tax, only on BUY orders. Equity Delivery & Intraday: 0.015% of trade value. Futures: 0.002%. Options: 0.003% of premium.
