When buying and selling shares or derivative contracts on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) or Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), the visible difference between your Buy Price and Sell Price (Gross Profit) is not what lands in your bank account. Every financial market transaction is subject to a combination of broker commissions and mandatory statutory taxes levied by the Government of India, the state governments, SEBI, and the stock exchanges.
Understanding these charges is essential for active intraday traders, swing traders, and options scalpers to accurately compute their Breakeven Price and prevent hidden transaction friction from destroying their trading edge.
Charged by your discount or full-service stockbroker. Discount brokers (Zerodha, Angel One, Groww, Dhan) typically charge ₹20 per executed order or 0.03% (whichever is lower) for Intraday/F&O, and ₹0 for Delivery.
Securities Transaction Tax collected directly by the Central Government. Delivery: 0.1% on Buy & Sell; Intraday: 0.025% on Sell; Futures: 0.02% on Sell; Options: 0.1% on Sell Premium value.
Levied by NSE / BSE to maintain trading infrastructure. Standard NSE rates are ~0.00297% on Cash turnover, ~0.00173% on Futures turnover, and ~0.03503% on Options premium turnover.
Goods & Services Tax is charged at 18% on (Brokerage + Exchange Txn Charges + SEBI Turnover Fee). STT and Stamp Duty are exempt from GST.
Collected centrally by the Indian Stamp Act on all Buy transactions. Delivery: 0.015% (₹1500/cr); Intraday: 0.003% (₹300/cr); Futures: 0.002% (₹200/cr); Options: 0.003% (₹300/cr).
Charged by the Securities and Exchange Board of India for market regulation at a uniform rate of ₹10 per crore (0.0001%) of total turnover.
