Brokerage by segment
Brokerage is what Upstox charges for each executed order. A segment is the kind of trade: delivery (shares you keep overnight), intraday (bought and sold the same day), futures and options.
In force now: effective 1 Oct 2024
| Segment | Brokerage per executed order |
|---|---|
| Delivery | ₹20 per executed order |
| Intraday | 0.1% of the order value, up to ₹20 per order |
| Futures | 0.05% of the order value, up to ₹20 per order |
| Options | ₹20 per executed order |
DP charge
A DP charge (depository participant charge) is paid when you sell shares out of your demat account, once for each stock sold, whatever the quantity. It has two parts: a fee to the depository that holds the shares and a fee to Upstox. GST is added to both parts, at 18% on 30 Oct 2026.
| Effective from | To the depository | To Upstox | Before GST | With GST |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Oct 2024 | ₹3.5 | ₹16.5 | ₹20 | ₹23.60 |
Worked examples
Two made-up trades, worked out by the same charges engine as the brokerage calculator, using the rates in force on 30 Oct 2026. Statutory charges such as STT are the same for every broker, so the difference between brokers is the brokerage and DP lines. Exchange transaction charges on NSE, SEBI fee (₹10 per crore) and stamp duty are included.
Delivery trade. Buy 100 shares at ₹1,000 and sell at ₹1,040 on NSE. Money in ₹1,00,000, money out ₹1,04,000, so the gain before charges is ₹4,000.
| Charge | How it is worked out | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Brokerage | ₹20 on every executed order, buy and sell | ₹40.00 |
| Securities Transaction Tax | 0.1% of the buy value and of the sell value | ₹204.00 |
| Exchange transaction charges | 0.0030699% of the total traded value on NSE | ₹6.26 |
| GST | 18% on brokerage + exchange fee + SEBI fee | ₹8.36 |
| SEBI turnover fee | 0.0001% of the total traded value | ₹0.21 |
| Stamp duty | 0.015% of the buy value, paid to the state | ₹15.00 |
| DP charge | ₹20 plus 18% GST = ₹23.6 per stock sold out of your demat, any quantity | ₹23.60 |
| Total charges | ₹297.43 | |
| Gain after charges | ₹3,702.57 |
Intraday trade. Buy 400 shares at ₹250 and sell at ₹255 on NSE. Money in ₹1,00,000, money out ₹1,02,000, so the gain before charges is ₹2,000.
