This is ridiculous!!! For online trading tech glitches can happen anytime.
IB operating client support from the US?
Even US brokers probably don't charge USD 30 for call & trade.
SEBI has some rules and regulations like the present regulations cap -
The maximum brokerage at 2.5% of the total traded value, without specifying any lower limit..For options, maximum brokerage per lot is capped to Rs 100 also.
How is that possible to charge Rs 2000 per order as call & trade when someone wants to square off 5 shares of Rs 100?
What if a trader want to square off 25 open orders during technical glitch like what happened to NSE few weeks ago? Rs 50,000 for using call & trade!
Call & trade is not direct brokerage but additional cost attached with trading, which is also under Sebi rules and regulations. Anyone can complain about such unreasonable rate & attract the attention of SEBI. IMO.
