Charges schedule
Default plan: Zero Brokerage. Statutory charges (STT, GST, stamp duty, exchange fees) apply on top and are uniform across brokers — the calculator breaks them out per trade.
Who it’s for
Traders who want to pay no brokerage in any segment, including equity intraday, F&O, currency and MCX commodity, and algo traders who want free API access.
Flattrade web platform
The Flattrade web platform lives at flattrade.in and covers the same trading, holdings, funds and statements surface as the mobile app. Web is the better fit for charting, multi-monitor workflows, copy-pasting from spreadsheets and filling out account or KYC forms; the app wins on mobility, biometric login and fast order placement on the move. Both share one login and one set of holdings — what you do on web reflects on the app instantly and vice versa.
