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 SAMCO brokerage calculator runs a real trade through these rates and breaks every charge out — brokerage, STT, GST, stamp duty, exchange, DP — by segment.
