@superman , You're right.
1. There are no charges for the desktop software.
2. We are not providing NSE NOW
(It is not free anymore for anyone. DOTEX started levying fees for your information for all the brokers who are using the platform). Also, it is a hassle to manage 2 parallel systems and it can create more problems than it solves. Hence, we don't provide NSE NOW.
3. Trading account opening is free. The charges of 400 + taxes are applicable only if you open a demat account.
But remember, you will need a demat account if you want to trade in intraday equity segment too. FYI.
