Fee
Those brokers who is charging hefty charges keep their brokerage very complex. Stoxkart has a very clear fee structure. We didn’t find any hidden charges. Even they charge one of the lowest brokerage charges in the stock market industry.
Brokerage
In review, we found Stoxkart new concept of pay brokerage only earns profit brokerage charges. We place an order in which we booked our position in loss. When we checked brokerage charges in Contract Notes in Email we didn’t charge for the sell order in which we booked a loss but we were charged for a buy order.
Which we found very beneficial for trading. In case, if your position goes on the wrong side your brokerage will not become a burden on your loss.
For profitable trade, we were charged for both leg (Buy/Sell ) Brokerage of 15 rupees per order.
Stoxkart levies following charges Charges & brokerage on Equity, F&O, Commodity & Currency:
