Which Kotak Securities plan fits whom

Kotak Securities runs 4 plans. The right one depends on how often you trade and which segments you use — not on the headline rate alone.

Trade Free Plan

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

Trade Free Youth

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

Trade Free Pro · ₹249 / month

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

Dealer-Assisted (MPower)

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

Statutory & exchange charges

These are set by the government and exchanges — they apply on every trade through any Indian broker, not just Kotak Securities. 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.
