- Buyers who would rather call a phone line than use a help centre
Fees and currency costs
Trading costs a flat INR 20 on every order, whatever the size, so small and large trades cost the same. The account fee is INR 0 and the minimum deposit is INR 0, so opening an account and holding it costs nothing. That suits someone building a position slowly, since the charge per order does not grow with the amount.
Where it sits among rivals
The account fee ranks 1 of 142 and the minimum deposit ranks 1 of 218, so the account side is as cheap as the field gets. The stock trade fee sits at 101 of 166. Set that flat charge against how often you expect to trade.
