I fail to understand why it is different . However if Zerodha charges etc. it’s still cheaper then other but then its misrepresentation / deliberate omission of the fact.
I think they need to change there marketing strategy as an individual i am satisfied with charges and services. However this omission of fact that approximately 8 RS ( inclusive of taxes is charged by Zerodha ) leaves a bad taste.
Anyway if on can give 20 Rs on FNO trade than one certainly can pay 8 Rs per trade if it is told upfornt.
How can this be deducted from P&L while filing taxes.
What are you talking about? It’s clearly mentioned here as well as on your application form - https://zerodha.com/charges as well in multiple threads on Tradingqna.
Hey @abhink, DP charges are charged separately and not part of brokerage charges.
DP charges include the cost which is paid to depository (NSDL+CDSL) plus a small additional cost that goes into processing that trade when stocks are sold. With us, it is Rs 5.5 for CDSL and Rs 8 that we charge extra. ICICI was charging Rs 30 or 0.05% whichever is higher until quite recently. Looks like they have reduced it now, they can of course make it up with their much higher brokerage (they charge a minimum brokerage of Rs 35 per trade on equity delivery trades).
I have seen its misleading because table doesn’t mentioned anything about the DP charges. Table should have a row for DP charges, as once i saw the table i thought these were all charges and didn’t read the charges explained.
Now logic is that if it is not in the table then it will not be part of footnote and explanation. However i was wrong mysteriously there was a charge called as DP charges.
My mistake - i took the table on face value that it contains all charges.
