In my experience Standard Chartered is the worst online broker in business. They bought the business of UTI Securities last year and the already bad customer support has become even worse.
Due to bad customer support, I have been trying to close my 2 accounts since last 1.5 months but without success. They tell me that there is a debit balance of about Rs. 449 each in my account but I had already paid those amounts/fees in the month of June, 2009. I have sent scanned copy of the photocopy of cheques with their stamp showing that they in fact received the cheques. I have emailed the scanned copies of our bank account statements showing that the cheques cleared from our accounts but 3 weeks after emailing these docs, my accounts are still not closed.
My advice is, stay away from anything Standard Chartered.
There are many online brokers like Sharekhan around that are still interested in offering decent customer support for the similar amount of brokerage. Go for them instead of a standard chartered.
