Every trade has two parts: ATS brokerage (among the lowest in the market) and statutory/exchange charges — STT, exchange transaction fees, SEBI turnover fee, GST and stamp duty — which are set by the government and exchanges, not by ATS. Use our brokerage calculator to see the full break-up before you trade, and check the tax on your trading profits too.
The charges on every trade
| Charge | Levied by | Applies to |
|---|---|---|
| Brokerage | ATS | Each executed order (segment-wise rate) |
| STT / CTT | Government | Equity, F&O, commodity as applicable |
| Exchange transaction fee | NSE / BSE / MCX | Turnover value |
| SEBI turnover fee | SEBI | Turnover value |
| GST | Government | Brokerage + transaction charges |
| Stamp duty | State / Government | Buy side |
| DP charge | Depository / ATS | Per scrip on sell from demat |
What are DP (depository) charges?
A flat depository charge applies per scrip each time you sell shares from your demat account, regardless of quantity. Current rates are in the ATS tariff sheet.
How to check charges before trading
- Use the brokerage calculator for a full break-up of brokerage, taxes and charges.
- Trading on margin? See how MTF interest adds up in our margin & pledge guide and the margin calculator.
- All applicable charges are debited from your trading ledger and itemised in your contract note for each trade.
Brokerage vs statutory chargesOnly brokerage is set by ATS. STT, exchange fees, SEBI fees, GST and stamp duty are fixed by the government/exchanges and are the same across brokers.
