For an investor, brokerage charges form a large part of his share trading experience and as an investor one must be vigilant about the amount being charged in the form of brokerage. Depending on the sum of money invested, brokerage fees could play a big role in the overall trading experience. The brokerage cost is a fundamental element of the online share trading platforms and the good news for the investors is that Kotak Securities, the subsidiary of Kotak Mahindra Bank has recently launched free Intraday Trading, where investors won’t have to pay any brokerage charges on intraday trades across cash, futures & options. The client could subscribe to this scheme by paying the annual subscription fees of INR 999 and could continue Intraday trading of any value throughout the year. Only a nominal amount of 1paisa/scrip traded would be charged.
Further, an investor would receive free access to research and technology platform offered by the firm for executing their transactions. The traders would also receive real-time research recommendation, automated charts and tailor-made derivative strategies and analysis, news from several sources, and several kinds of long/short analysis to help the investors in creating wealth for them.

– Resident Indian customers with online trading account

However, this scheme isn’t applicable for:
– NRI, QFI, ODIN Diet clients
– Currency derivatives & commodity trades.
– Super Multiple, Derivative plus & Option plus orders

This scheme is a step to offer the Indian price-sensitive trading community a low-cost trading platform.

However, it is important to note that:

– All the regulatory and statutory charges such as STT (Securities Transaction Tax), GST (Goods and Services Tax), exchange fees, stamp duty, and SEBI turnover fees would be levied on the actuals on trade.
– For cases where the position is held beyond the day, such trades would get converted into delivery trades, where FIT scheme won’t be applicable and brokerage fees would be levied.
Even though the Indian equity market is a well-developed one, only 5 percent of the total household savings is invested in the equity market.
