Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) — F&O Brokerage & Charges

What is F&O brokerage in India?

F&O (Futures & Options) brokerage is the fee charged by a stockbroker for executing derivative trades on NSE or BSE. Discount brokers like Zerodha, Upstox, Groww, and Angel One charge a flat fee of ₹20 per order. Traditional full-service brokers may charge a percentage of turnover. Our calculator defaults to the flat ₹20 model — the most common in India today.

How is STT calculated for options trading in 2024?

For Options, STT (Securities Transaction Tax) is charged at 0.1% on the sell-side premium turnover (as per Union Budget 2024 revision, increased from 0.0625%). For Futures, STT is 0.02% on the sell-side turnover. Note: STT for options is on premium value, not on notional contract value. Our calculator uses the latest applicable rates.

What are NSE exchange transaction charges for options?

NSE charges 0.053% on options premium turnover (both buy and sell combined) as Exchange Transaction Charges. For Futures, the rate is 0.00173% on total turnover. BSE charges 0.0325% for options and nil for futures. These are automatically calculated in our brokerage calculator.

How is GST calculated on brokerage and trading charges?

GST at 18% is levied on the sum of brokerage fees + exchange transaction charges + SEBI charges. It is NOT applied on STT or stamp duty. Our calculator accurately computes GST only on the eligible components, mirroring your actual contract note.

What is Stamp Duty for F&O trades?

Stamp duty is charged on the buy-side turnover only. For Futures it is 0.002% and for Options it is 0.003% of buy-side turnover. Rates are uniform across all states as per the Indian Stamp Act, 2019 amendment.

Can I calculate charges for multiple trades at once?

Yes! Our F&O Brokerage Calculator supports adding multiple trades and gives you a consolidated summary of Total Turnover, Total Charges (brokerage + STT + GST + SEBI charges + stamp duty), and Net P&L across all trades. You can also remove individual trades from the list.

Is this calculator valid for Zerodha, Upstox, and Angel One?

Yes — this calculator uses the ₹20 flat brokerage model which applies to all major discount brokers in India including Zerodha, Upstox, Groww, Angel One, Fyers, and Dhan. All statutory charges (STT, exchange charges, SEBI, GST, stamp duty) are regulated and identical regardless of which broker you use.

Does this calculator work for BSE F&O charges?

Yes. Select BSE from the Exchange dropdown to calculate charges specific to BSE. Note that BSE charges nil exchange fees for futures and 0.0325% for options — lower than NSE in some cases. Our calculator handles both exchanges with correct, up-to-date rates.
