Which ICICI Direct plan fits whom

ICICI Direct runs 5 plans. The right one depends on how often you trade and which segments you use — not on the headline rate alone.

MoneySaver (Default)

Percentage-of-turnover brokerage, usually bundled with research and advisory — fits investors who want guidance and trade less often.

iValue (₹299 one-time) · ₹299 one-time

A paid plan — worth it once the brokerage you save each month clears the subscription, i.e. for frequent, higher-volume traders.

Prime 999 (₹999 one-time) · ₹999 one-time

A paid plan — worth it once the brokerage you save each month clears the subscription, i.e. for frequent, higher-volume traders.

Prime 4999 (₹4,999 one-time) · ₹4,999 one-time

A paid plan — worth it once the brokerage you save each month clears the subscription, i.e. for frequent, higher-volume traders.

Prime 9999 (₹9,999 one-time) · ₹9,999 one-time

A paid plan — worth it once the brokerage you save each month clears the subscription, i.e. for frequent, higher-volume traders.

Account opening

Rs 0 (free)

One-time, charged at signup. Demat AMC is Demat AMC for individual accounts approximately Rs. 700 per annum (varies by plan; some plans/promotions waive the first year). See account opening for the full process.

Statutory & exchange charges

These are set by the government and exchanges — they apply on every trade through any Indian broker, not just ICICI Direct. 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, and 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. The calculator handles all of this automatically.
