I got the form from canara bank today. So many forms to fill !!
One time charge of Rs 500 refundable as brokerage over 3 months.
And an annual fee of Rs 225.
I am still a student and very new to trading.
Any fine prints or any other suggestions about regulations, extra charges and the documents I've to sign?
Thanks
Too many signatures is a must because of regulations. Out of two stamped papers, One is for agreement for trading in NSE and another for trading in BSE. In case you intend to trade with only one exchange, you may save on one agreement paper, saving 100/-. But all the 500/- is refundable from brokerage (Taxes and duties excluded!), this may not be a real saving. Being a PSU bank, you may go ahead with some confidence. But to be on safer side, take a photocvopy of all sheets of the signed forms.
And wait in patience! They took a very looooong time of more than 30 days to enable all the committed facilities.
After activation, you may request for a trial of the SW package for about 2 weeks at no extra cost. I am not sure if they provide it still, but make a request.
You said you are a student. You have to be very careful in trading. Intraday trading is a near full time job. With limited cash, you may have to stick to the system all the trading hours when positions are open and you must have a reliable internet and power supply.
Make the best use of the available time till account activation to learn the finer aspects of trading. For this, I suggest to read the beginner's guide threads in the forum.
All the best.
