In Primary market the brokerage is capped at 0.06% by the RBI whereas in the secondary market it depends on broker to broker.
For selling in the primary market, you cant do. It can only be held till maturity.
For selling in the secondary market, its the same as selling any stock - The charges include brokerage, STT, ETT, SD, GST along with DP Charges.
Thanks for quick and crisp reply…
What is the charge in zerodha if I buy Gsec in secondary market? Kindly advise.
The charges are same as you would buy a stock. You won’t have to pay any brokerage on it. But, other charges like STT, Exchange transaction charges etc are applicable. You can check the details in the below mentioned support article.
Sir, thank u so much .
@Meher_Smaran, I recently bought the Tbill from the Kite application and I could be the charges to be around Rs. 9. However, the charges on the contract note were less than a rupee. The STT was shown at Rs. 9 on the order window while the same was missing on the contract note. The STT isn’t applicable for T-bills as well like the SGBs?
The charge to exit G-sec before maturity on Kite is the same as exiting any other security held in the demat account.
STT is applicable only on secondary market transactions. Any transaction in primary market will not attract STT
There’s no STT on T Bills, although this FAQ is for Futures: https://www1.nseindia.com/invest/resources/download/faqs_91DTB.pdf
Yes, there is no STT applicable for T-Bills in the secondary market. This can be confirmed by checking the STT non-applicability report available on the NSE website or the List of securities on which STT is not levied report available on the BSE website.
