About the Motilal Oswal brokerage calculator
Motilal Oswal is a research-driven full-service broker known for in-depth
equity research and wealth advisory alongside its broking arm. Equity delivery is charged at 0.20% of
turnover, intraday and futures at 0.02% per leg, and options at a flat ₹20 per executed order — broadly
comparable to other mid-tier full-service brokers, and notably cheaper on F&O than ICICI Direct or HDFC
Securities. Motilal Oswal charges zero demat AMC, which is a point of difference from several other
full-service, research-oriented brokers.

KEEP IN MIND
Motilal Oswal's 0.20% delivery brokerage with no flat-fee cap means costs scale directly
with trade size — on a large delivery position, this can be significantly more than a discount
broker's ₹0 or ₹20 flat fee. The trade-off is access to Motilal Oswal's research desk and advisory
services; if you don't use those, compare the rupee cost here against a discount broker for your
typical trade size.
Worked example — Intraday: 100 shares, ₹1,000 → ₹1,010
On a 100-share intraday trade bought at ₹1,000 and sold at ₹1,010 through Motilal Oswal, the
brokerage component comes to ₹40.20 and total charges
across brokerage, STT, exchange fees, SEBI fee, stamp duty and GST add up to
₹82.95. On a gross profit of ₹1,000 (before charges), that
leaves a net P&L of ₹917.05 — run your own numbers in the
calculator above for any price, quantity or segment.
Delivery brokerage shown is the round-trip charge (buy + sell legs combined) on a ₹1,00,000 turnover trade, for like-for-like comparison — see each broker's own page for their exact formula.
Frequently asked questions
What does Motilal Oswal charge for delivery trades?
Motilal Oswal charges 0.20% of turnover on equity delivery trades, applied to both buy and sell legs, with no flat-fee cap — so brokerage scales with trade value.
What does Motilal Oswal charge for options?
Motilal Oswal charges a flat ₹20 per executed order on options, in line with several discount brokers' F&O pricing despite being a full-service broker on delivery.
Does Motilal Oswal charge AMC?
No, Motilal Oswal charges ₹0 annual maintenance charge on its demat account, unlike several other full-service brokers such as HDFC Securities and ICICI Direct.
Is Motilal Oswal good for research-driven investing?
Motilal Oswal's research desk and equity advisory are a core part of its offering, which can justify its percentage-based delivery brokerage for investors who actively use research calls — self-directed traders who don't may find a discount broker's flat-fee or zero-brokerage structure cheaper.

This calculator is built for educational and estimation purposes, referencing publicly available SEBI, NSE, BSE and MCX circulars along with each broker's published rate card. Actual charges on your contract note may vary.
01Securities Transaction Tax (STT)
STT is levied by the Government of India under the Securities Transaction Tax Act, 2004, and collected by the exchange on every executed trade. Equity delivery attracts 0.1% on both buy and sell legs; equity intraday attracts 0.025% on the sell leg only. Futures attract 0.05% on the sell-side turnover and options attract 0.15% on the sell-side premium, per the rates effective 1 April 2026 (Union Budget 2026-27). STT is non-refundable and applies irrespective of profit or loss.
02Exchange transaction charges
NSE and BSE levy transaction charges on turnover to fund exchange operations and infrastructure, as specified in their respective circulars. These charges differ by segment (equity, futures, options) and are charged to the broker, who passes them through to the client. Rates are revised periodically by the exchange and published on nseindia.com and bseindia.com.
03SEBI turnover fees
Under SEBI (Regulation of Fees) regulations, a turnover fee of ₹10 per crore (0.0001%) is charged on the total transaction value to fund SEBI's regulatory functions. This is a flat statutory levy uniformly applied across all brokers and segments.
04Stamp duty
Stamp duty on securities transactions is levied under the Indian Stamp Act, 1899, as amended by the Finance Act, 2019, and is charged uniformly pan-India on the buy-side consideration, collected by the depository/exchange. Rates: 0.015% for equity delivery, 0.003% for intraday and options premium, and 0.002% for futures.
05GST
Goods and Services Tax at 18% is levied on brokerage and on exchange transaction & SEBI charges (the "taxable services" component), under the CGST/SGST or IGST Act depending on the client's registered state. GST is not applicable on STT, stamp duty, or the SEBI turnover fee itself, as these are statutory levies, not services.
06DP (Depository Participant) charges
When you sell shares held in your demat account, your Depository Participant (broker) levies a DP charge (typically ₹13–₹25 + GST per scrip, per day), payable to CDSL/NSDL for debiting securities from your demat account. This is separate from brokerage and applies only on delivery sells, not on intraday or F&O trades.
