Demat & account fees
Charged separately from brokerage. DP charges apply on equity delivery sells; subscription fees (if any) apply to the broker’s paid plan.
Statutory & exchange charges
These are set by the government and exchanges — they apply on every trade through any Indian broker, not just 5paisa. Values are percent of turnover (per side).
| Charge | Equity delivery | Equity intraday | Futures | Options |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| STT / CTT | 0.1% | 0.025% | 0.05% | 0.15% |
| Stamp duty | 0.015% | 0.003% | 0.002% | 0.003% |
| SEBI charges | 0.0001% | 0.0001% | 0.0001% | 0.0001% |
| Exchange txn charges | 0.00297% | 0.00297% | 0.00173% | 0.03503% |
| GST (on brokerage + SEBI + exch) | 18% | 18% | 18% | 18% |
STT is charged on the sell side for equity delivery and intraday, on the sell side for options (on premium) and both sides for futures. Stamp duty applies on the buy side only. GST is computed on the sum of brokerage + SEBI + exchange transaction charges. DP charges apply separately on delivery sells. The calculator handles all of this automatically.
The 5paisa brokerage calculator runs a real trade through these rates and breaks every charge out — brokerage, STT, GST, stamp duty, exchange, DP — by segment.
