wheather data is correct or wrong?
You are paying 999/- as overall brokerage per year. You will still be paying the other taxes and charges.
if there is loss of 100 crores… then zerodha will raise brokarage for delivery trades?
On face of it, it looks like a great deal for intraday trader. But you must also be aware that this 1000/- p.a. will not cover their cost of maintaining the traders account and likely cause an operating loss for them. Why are they willing to do it. Purely to grow business, I doubt it.
I suspect they will take the opposite side of the trade (considering 90+% of day traders loose, its automatic win-win for them) and do “mind-control” of day traders with bombardment of daily tips, research reports phone calls etc. The very reason they want only day traders saves them from gap risk when they take opposite side of the trade. This will ultimately create a pool of in house dummies for them to off load their proprietary trades when they need to square off.
I suspect they are trying to improvise the dark pool concept of foreign brokerages to suit Indian regulations. JUST MY VIEW…
If you r experienced day trader, no harm in trying it out and see for yourself.

Hmm. Thank You.
Is there will be any difference for us if Broker take opposite trade when we have a profitable trading strategy ? And can I sure Zerodha is not doing this ?
I am just asking for knowledge.

Free Intraday Trading
Successful intraday trading has a lot to do with costs. Lower the cost; the lower the breakeven to make profits. That is where Kotak Securities’ Free Intraday Trading (FIT) perfectly fits into your trading strategy. Just open a trading account with Kotak Securities and start your free intraday trading journey right away.
How to get free intraday trading?
It’s very simple. Just open a trading account with Kotak Securities (It’s free if you opt for FIT). Next, opt for the FIT subscription by paying Rs. 999 for the full year.”
What do you get with FIT?
Traders can subscribe to the FIT plan by paying just Rs.999 for the whole year. That is less than Rs.4 per day.
FIT is applicable for all intraday trading orders across all equity segments, be it cash, futures or options.
There is no limit on the quantum of intraday trading that you can do in equities and derivatives with FIT once you have subscribed to the 999 plan.
The rules of FIT
FIT is only applicable for self-generated orders i.e. where the buy and sell leg orders are placed on the Kotak Securities platform by the customer directly.
Customers will have to provide margins as per the existing agreement with Kotak Securities.
Delivery brokerage will be as per the agreement with the client.
Currently, FIT is only open to resident Indians with an online trading account and for online franchisee accounts in equity and equity derivatives.
Keep in mind…
Intraday trades placed through a dealer will not be covered under FIT.
All statutory and regulatory charges like STT, GST, stamp duty, exchange fees and SEBI turnover fees will be charged on actuals on the trade.
Nominal brokerage of just 1 paisa per scrip will be levied on your trade that will substantially reduce your cost of trading.
FIT is not available for currency and commodity trades. FIT cannot be used by NRIs, QFIs and ODIN Diet clients at this point of time.
In case you rollover your position beyond the day, the trade gets converted into a delivery trade, in which case, brokerage will be charged.
Why opt for FIT?
30-34% of customers in the equity cash and derivatives segments are self-traders, as of FY2017-18. Intraday trades also account for 60-64% of the average daily trading volume in both equity cash and derivatives segments. For such traders, brokerage cost is a major consideration. FIT is intended to address precisely that issue. Here’s what Free Intraday Trade (FIT) offers:

No…My view is that in trading it all depends on the trader & the market. The broker may have win-win situation because on wider scale most of the traders lose.
What are you a spokesperson of Kotak? Posting hour by hour updates of the new product. Kudos on the copy pasting done brilliantly!
I am the CEO of kotak securities.
Trying to be active on forums and give some offers to gain customers
After that will withdraw all the offers without anyone’s knowledge on 25th April next year
The problem is these companies do not know how to sell their product.
Kotak’s FIT plan is uber cool and could be a disruptive.
But these aristocrats do not know how to market to the common people in India.
Axis had a similar offer few months back, but they failed to attract clients.
Unless they start being transparent on the Intraday leverage for shares, fno ,and write it in big letters on their site, like rest of the discount brokers do. They are not going to sell this product.
On the other hand, their current high revenue generating clients will shift to this plan , and they will net loose out on revenue with these kind of offers.
Tried laughing but couldn’t. Mother promise, I tried!
Are you taking a dig at someone/something?
Probable reason why their interface have technical glitches during high volatility and when you are making money

@Nabarun_Chakraborty I assume SEBI bought in a new rule not to give discounts or any rewards for investing (mutual funds) or any financial instruments. May be that was the reason for stopping the challenge. 
its a scam

Their interface is bound to have the glitches because @nithin is not upgrading their IT infrastructure to an extent that it can handle that amount of customer with proper load balancing.
They are not certainly trading against customers. Here is an counter theory based on same hypothesis then -
- Get 10 people.
- Give them 10k each.
- Ask them to do any trade.
- Make a chromedriver scanner using .net which scans the orderbooks to check orders.
- Fire reverse orders of what they do but use 2x capital now.
As 90% of them are bound to lose money. This hypothesis should make you money too. People love conspiracy theories because it is an excuse to cover the loss. One needs to acknowledge the fact that Zerodha will not work in volatility like upcoming budget day! So he needs to prepare ahead for that.
Its an IT problem which needs to be addressed sharp. But it is an expensive problem. What is Elastic Load Balancing? - Elastic Load Balancing

@unofficed what’s the Chrome driver scanner. I see you have mentioned it elsewhere too…is it some sort of virtual scanner/software scanner capable of OCR?
