How brokerage charges actually work

Every trade in India is layered with six distinct charges. Brokerage is just one of them — the rest are statutory and identical across brokers.

01 / BROKERAGE

What the broker keeps

Varies by broker and plan — flat fee, percentage, or zero on delivery. This is the only negotiable component.

02 / STT

Securities Transaction Tax

Government tax on every trade, fixed by the Finance Act. Identical across all brokers, non-negotiable.

03 / EXCHANGE CHARGES

NSE / BSE transaction fee

Levied by the exchange on turnover to fund market infrastructure. Same rate for every broker on that exchange.

04 / SEBI FEES

Regulatory turnover fee

₹10 per crore of turnover, charged uniformly to fund SEBI's regulatory function.

05 / STAMP DUTY

State government levy

Charged on the buy-side value under the Indian Stamp Act, uniform pan-India since 2020.

06 / GST

18% on services

Applies only to brokerage + exchange charges + SEBI fees — never on STT or stamp duty.

Terms, regulatory notes & disclosures

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.
