Which TradeSmart plan fits whom

TradeSmart runs 2 plans. The right one depends on how often you trade and which segments you use — not on the headline rate alone.

Power Plan

Flat per-order pricing across segments — fits active traders who want a predictable cost regardless of order size.

Value Plan

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

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.

DP charges (per sell)

₹18.5

Charged once per scrip per day on delivery sells, regardless of quantity.

Subscription fee

None

Default plan: Power Plan. Other plans may charge a different fee — see the brokerage table above.

Account opening

Free for equity/F&O/currency trading + CDSL demat; MCX commodity segment activation costs an extra approx. ₹200

One-time, charged at signup. Demat AMC is Demat AMC nil for the first year, then ₹300 per 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 TradeSmart. 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.
