How brokerage charges work in India
STT is one of the largest charges on most retail trades — 0.1% on both sides for delivery, 0.025% on the sell side for intraday equity, 0.05% on the sell side for futures, and 0.15% on the option premium sell side for short options. Always factor STT and other charges into your R:R before placing a trade.
