Hidden charges of Zerodha

[Zyan]

Can you break down all trading/investment costs on Dhan, Zerodha, and Groww: brokerage, account fees, and taxes (STT, GST, and stamp duty)? Are there any hidden charges that, as a new user, I should know?

[Reema]

Zerodha is one of the most transparent brokers I have seen till now. They do mention the payment gateway charges. Dhan, Zerodha, and Groww offer zero brokerage on equity delivery. For intraday/F&O, it's typically ₹20 per executed order.

Zerodha has ₹300/year as a Demat AMC (Annual Maintenance Charge). Dhan and Groww don't have any Demat AMC. Account opening/maintenance fees differ for different platforms. Yes, there are some taxes like STT, GST, and stamp duty, which depend on the transaction.
