Charges other than Brokerage for Stock Exchange Transactions


Are you a day trader or active trader? One of the most pertinent question you should ask yourself is - What is your trading cost? Simple question, but not so simple answer. Did you just say - “30 paisa for Delivery and 3 paisa for F&O”. Wait, have you considered all the charges you are paying for executing trades on stock exchange. Quite often you recall and consider only your brokerage cost. But there are so many other charges which are levied on Stock exchange transactions apart from brokerage.

Take Check out the contract note and examine. You will see the following charges in addition to Brokerage charges – Securities Transaction Tax (STT), Stamp Duty and Other Charges. In most of the cases the break up of “Other Charges” is not provided, but note it consists of Transaction Charges and SEBI Turnover Charges. Then there is also Service Tax which is levied on all the charges except STT.

More often than not, when you are taking close intra-day trading calls, where the margins are wafer thin, you should have complete grasp of what your costs are going to be for a particular trade. These additional cost can become the difference between a winning trade and losing trade. Please see below detailed information on statutory charges on stock exchange transactions, other than Brokerage charges.

Thanks for the detailed charges :)
BTW is there a thing called minimum brokerage charges ?
My geojit charged me 20 rs even though they have stated they charge 0.3%.
i purchased 10 shares worth 109.7rs but my total deduction is 1120.21 instead of 1097+(charges you said above which will amount to say 5-7rs max)
Does it apply to all trading platforms or only geojit does that ?

Considering both the legs that is buy side and sell side you should be charged 1104 Rs. i dont know abt geojit how they charge....you should call the customer care executive and ask for the clarification.....if you took the deilvery of the above said then you would have been charged 1104Rs(including brokerage of both buy and sell side and other hidden charges i told above). you should clarify it with them. i am not Familliar with Minimum Brokerage cause i never traded with small Capital (may be thats the reason i dont know)....will try to find out ur querry

Yes there is minimum brokerage, Sharkhan charges 16 Rs as the minimum brokerage Sell side only.

e.g If you sell x number of stocks and your brokerage is 10 Rs then Rs 6 will added to it.

Maybe in your case geogit charges min brokerage at buy side too.


@ Rajputz - Great post.

SEBI Turnover Charges

Equity Delivery Transactions
Purchase: NIL
Sell: NIL
In last few contract notes I see Rs.0.02-0.03 being charged as "SEBI Turnover Tax" for all delivery based transactions (Buy/Sell). Let me know if SEBI Turnover Tax is now applicable in delivery based transactions as well.

Thanks, Rajputz for the very useful info.

I have one query.

turnover = qty * price ?
(or)
turnover = qty * (price + brokerage) ?

thanks in advance.
