Intraday trading charges in India — what eats your profit?

On a typical intraday trade, multiple charges are deducted before you see your actual net profit. Understanding these is crucial for scalpers who take many small positions where charges can easily exceed the gross profit:

STT (Securities Transaction Tax) on intraday equity is 0.025% on the sell-side turnover — this is the largest single charge for most intraday traders, levied directly by the government and non-negotiable regardless of broker.

Brokerage is the broker's fee — typically ₹15–₹20 per executed order for discount brokers. On a ₹10,000 trade, even ₹20 brokerage is 0.2% per leg, so the minimum trade size to make brokerage a small fraction of your P&L needs to be meaningful.

Exchange transaction charges (NSE/BSE fees) are around 0.00307% of turnover — small but present on every trade.

Use this calculator to see the exact charge composition for each trade and across your full trading day.

What is the minimum intraday trade size to cover charges on Zerodha?
On Zerodha, a buy+sell intraday trade incurs roughly ₹40 brokerage + STT on the sell side + exchange charges + SEBI + stamp duty + GST. On a small trade of 10 shares at ₹1,000 (₹10,000 turnover), total charges are typically ₹50–60. Your gross move needs to cover at least ₹5–6 per share just to break even. Use the calculator above with your exact trade parameters to find your specific breakeven point.
Is STT refunded if an intraday trade is squared off?
No. STT is a statutory tax levied on every executed trade by the Government of India. For intraday equity, STT of 0.025% is charged on the sell-side turnover whether the trade is profitable or not. It is never refunded. There is no STT on the buy leg for intraday trades.

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.
