Charges schedule
Default plan: Flat ₹20. 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
Cost-conscious self-directed Indian investors and active traders who want a low-cost, well-designed platform with free equity delivery, flat-fee intraday/F&O, and free direct mutual funds.
Zerodha web platform
The Zerodha web platform lives at zerodha.com 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.
