If you are investor or trader or planning to invest in stock market then you should carefully choose your broker as it will help you to save money and hassles. In this article I will compare Best Discount Stock Broker India 2017.
I have used all of these 3 discount brokers. I will share my honest opinion about them. Before we proceed to review, you must know the difference between full service broker and discount broker.
Full Service Broker:
They will charge you percentage of the trade value as a brokerage. eg. 0.05% of total traded value will charged as brokerage. HDFC Securities, ICICI Direct etc are major full service brokers.
Discount Broker:
They will charge you flat fee per trade irrespective of the traded value. So if you are active trader then you will save a lot of money with discount broker.
So Best Discount Stock Broker India 2017 are as follows
- Zerodha:
Zerodha is market leader in the discount broker section founded in 2010 by Nitin Kamath. They contribute upto 5% retail trading volume in indian stock market. You can open account with them by filling form online and paying Rs.300/- as a account opening fees. To open account go to Zerodha.com
