Who are the largest brokerage firms in India?

I dont find Interactive brokers in the list. Now Dont tell me they dont have even one client.

By the time next financial year begins, Zerodha will be the largest brokerage house in India.

Where are the other discount brokers in top 20. Why are expensive brokers still ruling the roost?

Why zerodha has two accounts? Second account shows only 2 clients. Any specific reason for having multiple memberships? @nithin

This list is from NSE itself, only brokers who have a complaint against them in a financial year show up on this. Interactive brokers doesn’t, so it doesn’t show up. But last I remember it was around couple of thousands.

Two memberships you mean right. Second one is because we are hitting open interest restrictions on Bank nifty contracts. Btw many big companies like Edelweiss etc have multiple memberships.

Still after 2 memberships bn openinterest gets hit? Or one membership is for internal use?

2nd membership is still not live for clients. Maybe in the next few weeks. Hopefully will reduce the OI issue in primary.

Thanks @nithin

Nice to know IB had no complaints. They have a very useful chat support. Zerodha may try something like that.

Ok. I thought the 2nd membership was for Zerodha’s internal prop trading… good to know that it will be open to regular clients too!

Congratulations @nithin

@nithin @siva-reddy

Is there any maximum wait until when this 2nd membership and hence the BNF OI issue will get resolved.

I am asking again because today I tried to buy 28600 CE, which is just 1% ahead of current BNF spot.

And even this option is not available to buy that too on 2nd day of weekly expiry.

Which makes small retailers like me to buy expensive options or those where risk reward is lower.

Working on this, waiting for few approvals from vendors, hopefully will announce this soon.

@nithin Zerodha reaching #2 reminded me of an iconic advertising campaign by car rental service, Avis - We are only number 2. We try harder. Avis - we don’t know another way.
The honesty, humility and simplicity of those three words written more than 50 years back, is still one of the classics in the history of advertising and marketing. You must see it when you have time.

Google reimagined the campaign in 2012 gives you a lot of backstory:

Robert Townsend, former CEO of Avis US, on the birth of the We Try Harder promise.

Does this list represent total clients or “active” clients? And what is the definition for active clients?
