Understanding Stock Trading Charges in India
When you buy or sell stocks in India, the actual profit is not just the difference between your buy and sell price. Various charges are levied on each transaction that reduce your net profit. Understanding these charges is crucial for making informed trading decisions, especially for frequent traders.
Securities Transaction Tax (STT)
STT is a tax levied by the government on transactions made on recognised stock exchanges. For delivery trades, STT is charged at 0.1% on both buy and sell sides. For intraday trades, STT is charged at 0.025% only on the sell side. This is often the largest component of trading charges.
GST, SEBI Charges & Stamp Duty
GST at 18% is charged on brokerage and transaction charges. SEBI charges a regulatory fee of Rs 10 per crore of turnover. Stamp duty varies by state but is typically 0.015% for delivery and 0.003% for intraday on the buy side. Discount brokers like Zerodha charge a flat Rs 20 per executed order or 0.03% of trade value (whichever is lower) for intraday and F&O trades, and zero brokerage for equity delivery trades.
