What are Brokerage Charges?

  • Comments 13

While all Traders & Investors transact on Stock Exchanges in India such as Bombay Stock Exchange, National Stock Exchange or on Commodity Exchanges such as Multi Commodity Exchange, they cannot do so directly.

What are Brokerage Charges?

Let’s take an example: Mr.Ram is a new Investor. He wishes to buy shares of Reliance. He calls up the National Stock Exchange & requests them to buy shares. However they ask him to contact a SEBI Registered Broker to transact on. He is left confused & asks his experienced friend, Mr. Shyam about the same. Shyam explains that a Broker is someone who acts as an intermediary between Clients such as Ram & the Stock Exchange.

In order to transact on the stock exchanges, the Trader or Investor needs to open a Stock Brokerage Account.

For every Transaction that the trader or investor initiates, the broker charges a fee. This fee is called Brokerage. Brokerage forms one of the largest components of trading expenses in the stock markets. Other expenses for trading include STT, taxes and other transaction related fees.

You can calculate your brokerage for trading stocks, commodities and other derivatives in India on the Online Brokerage Calculator.

Brokerage charges are determined by each Broker as it suits them. In India, we have two types of Brokerage Services:

  • Full Service Brokerage: These are expensive for traders as they charge brokerage as a percentage of the Transaction size. They may offer advisory services. Their brokerage rates differ for the type of trading done i.e. Intraday or Positional & these charges can eat up a substantial chunk of Capital & profits of the Traders.
  • Flat Fee Brokers or Discount Brokers: Discount brokers are primarily online brokerages – a relatively new concept in India, these Brokers offer a value proposition for traders as they charge a low fixed fee per trade, regardless of trade size or style.

At SAMCO, we provide a flat Fee Brokerage of Rs.20 per Order regardless of the Trade size or segment. So whether you transact in the Cash Segment or Futures & Options, Intraday or Positional, you would pay Rs.20 per Order.

We are proud to say that we have helped our clients save Crores in Brokerage. Calculate your own savings on our SAMCO Brokerage Savings Calculator.

      Dear Mr. Pramod, thank you for getting in touch with us. If you are purchasing entire 100 shares of Reliance in the single order, you would be charged 0.02% or Rs. 20 for intraday and 0.20% or Rs. 20 for delivery, as per executed order basis. If you are placing multiple order for the same script simultaneously, then the brokerage would be charged as per the execution of every single order.

      We hope your queries have been resolved. In case you have any questions or need any help, please do contact us; we’re happy to help you. Thank you for your time. Have a great Day!

      Hi Sandeep,

      Glad you asked, Brokerage is charged per transaction meaning if your orders gets executed in 3 transactions so you will be charged 0.20% or Rs 20 whichever is less on all 3 executions. Thats the standard industry practice. I would request you to kindly use this brokerage calculator https://www.samco.in/technology/brokerage_calculator and check various permutation combination for better understanding. Moreover trust us this is the most competitive pricing you may find in the market along with access to our various clutter breaking products like StockNote,RankMF and StockBasket.

"No need to issue cheques by investors while subscribing to IPO. Just write the bank account number and sign in the application form to authorise your bank to make payment in case of allotment. No worries for refund as the money remains in investor's account."

Brokerage charged will not exceed maximum limit as prescribed by SEBI.

This is with reference to communication received from SEBI/Exchanges stating that some fraudster entities have been operating throughout India and sending bulk messages to the clients trading on the recognized stock exchanges on the pretext of providing investment tips and luring with hefty profits, all clients are requested not to get carried away by luring advertisements, rumours, hot tips, explicit/ implicit promise of returns, etc.

The modus operandi observed is that once a client pays amount to them, huge profits are shown in his account online inducing more investment. However, they stop responding when client demands return of amount invested and profit earned.

Stock Brokers can accept securities as margin from clients only by way of pledge in the depository system w.e.f. September 1, 2020.

Update your mobile number & email Id with your stock broker/depository participant and receive OTP directly from depository on your email id and/or mobile number to create pledge.

Pay 20% upfront margin of the transaction value to trade in cash market segment.

Investors may please refer to the Exchange's Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) issued vide circular reference NSE/INSP/45191 dated July 31, 2020 and NSE/INSP/45534 dated August 31, 2020 and other guidelines issued from time to time in this regard.

Check your Securities /MF/ Bonds in the consolidated account statement issued by NSDL/CDSL every month.
