Three items needs to be noted while buying or selling as 'Trade Price Per unit', 'Brokerage per Unit' and 'Net Rate per Unit'. Can be clarified with my own experience. I bought 275 shares of TTML with share value ('Trade Price Per unit') of 10.55. 'Brokerage per Unit' charged(0.5%) at Rs. 0.05. Thus 'Net Rate per Unit' a.k.a Hold Price results in 10.61. Other than Brokerage, Service tax (at the rate of 12.36%) and Securities Transaction Tax (STT) ,Stamp Duty, Exchange Levy etc are also be charged.
