NRI Brokerage
“Brokerage” is the fee that stock broking houses charge to enable you to carry out a trade in the stock markets. Brokerage rates are charged as a percentage of the total traded volumes, subject to a nominal fixed brokerage amount of Rs.50 with every executed order in the cash segment.
