Sub: CanMoney Brokerage calculation
Today, I received my Demat account information from their Bangalore office, which encloses the brokerage tariff and conditions. This is at variance with what is available at canmoney.com. (My account is yet to be activated.)
As a typical case, in the brokerage plan of GOLD with Rs 999/- upfront payment:
A) The brochure indicates that:
1) The applicable brokerage for nondelivery is 0.05 %
2) Brokerage shall be charged only on one side i.e., on sale.
3) 50 % concession in the brokerage charges to clients paying a minimum brokerage of Rs.1000/- per calender month.
B) Their web site indicates that:
1) The applicable brokerage for nondelivery is 0.025 %
2) The brokerage shall be charged on both sides i.e. on purchase side and sale side.
3) The 50% concession point of their brochure is not mentioned in the web site.
Let us take a typical case of a total monthly turnover of 100 Lakhs consisting of 50 Lakhs purchase and 50 Lakhs sale.
As per brochure, Brokerage (on sale side only) = 50 Lakhs * 0.05 % = Rs 2,500/-
After 50 % concession, Brokerage = Rs 1,250/-
As per web site, Brokerage ( on both sides) = 100 Lakhs * 0.025 % = Rs 2,500/-
50 % concession is not indicated.
So, as I understand, the brokerage is NOT reduced, but only the wording is changed in this case.
The cutoff point is when the turnover (Both legs) is 80 Lakhs per month, above which, the new website tariff is costly.
If the web site is the latest and the applicable one, tariff reduction is applicale only to traders with less than 80 Lakhs turnover. This is funny.
sunny, rajesh and other members who are using CanMoney may comment and clarify on my understanding of the above brokerage tariff and calculations and indicate the correct calculation.
By the way, the application form also contained a tariff sheet which was signed and submitted. I failed to note down what it contained. Can anybody post the tariff as per that sheet?
Thanks for your time & help.
