Independent broker reviews
Know what a demat account
actually costs.
Brokers advertise the headline rate. We publish the whole bill — brokerage, STT, GST, stamp duty, DP charges and AMC — on one page, so you can decide before you sign up rather than after your first contract note.
Broker reviews
Zerodha Review 2026
India's largest broker by networth. Zero brokerage on equity delivery and direct mutual funds, flat ₹20 on intraday and F&O — plus the fourteen other charges that don't make the homepage.
More brokers coming
Reviews of other Indian discount brokers are in progress, built to the same format: every charge listed, verified against the broker's own pricing page, with the date it was checked.
How these reviews work
Charges are transcribed, not summarised
Rates come straight from each broker's own charges page, with the date they were checked printed next to them.
The full bill, not the headline
Statutory charges and the small recurring fees — DP, AMC, pledge, call & trade — are listed alongside the brokerage.
No tips, no recommendations
Nothing here is investment advice. These pages compare what a broker costs, not what you should buy.
The downsides stay in
Every review carries a "what's the catch" section. If a broker has no phone support or charges more in some situation, it's on the page.
