Last month I rolled my IOC 150 PE position
and paid ₹4,825 extra in slippage.
Here’s the exact calculation:
- Lot size: 4,825 shares
- Slippage on buy leg: ₹0.50 × 4,825 = ₹2,412
- Slippage on sell leg: ₹0.50 × 4,825 = ₹2,412
- Total per rollover: ₹4,825
- Annual cost: ₹57,900
And that’s just 1 lot.
Multiple lots = multiple of this.
Quick poll:
- Do you face this at rollover?
- How many lots do you typically roll?
- Do you use any tool to reduce this?
