What charges apply to a share trade?
Apart from brokerage, every equity trade on NSE or BSE pays government and exchange charges.
STT: delivery 0.1% on buy and sell · intraday 0.025% on sell
Stamp duty (buy): delivery 0.015% · intraday 0.003% · SEBI fee: ₹10 per crore
GST: 18% on brokerage + exchange charges + SEBI fee
Why charges matter for intraday
On small price moves, charges can eat most of the profit. The break-even price above shows how far the stock must move before you make any money after costs.
Check your contract note
Exchange charges differ slightly between NSE and BSE and change from time to time, and brokers' DP charges vary. Your contract note shows the exact charges for each trade.
