New traders watch out. Zerodha please help out - include charges in positions P&L

I am not sure if you are trolling or trying to be helpful here.

In case it is the latter: such a web page cannot be used as a definitive source of truth for tax purposes, primarily because it can be changed willy nilly.

Just a fyi … if anybody is calculating charges yourselves.

I tried it last year and the figures did not tally with brokers final figures.

Turned out, the stamp duty is calculated once per contract note and rounded. Other charges are per transaction, some are rounded and some not.

Also, we need to keep verifying our calculations with contract notes every day. For eg. I did not know abour recent SEBI charge change.

It would be nice if zerodha improves the brokerage calculator web page. At least we should be able to delete individual trades in contract note view.

Also, the rounding off in brokerage calc does not match with contract note.

@siva, @nithin, Please make these two changes to brokerage calc. Thanks.
