Still have questions?

Trade Free Plan is a simplified brokerage plan offered by Kotak Securities. Here's what you get with this plan:

  • Rs.10 per order Intraday Trades

You can enjoy Rs.10 per order brokerage for intraday trades across all segments - Equity (Cash), Equity Derivatives (F&O), Currency and Commodity.

  • Equity Delivery Trades

Brokerage for delivery trades in Equity (Cash) will be charged at 0.20% of the transaction value.

  • Top Stock Picks

With the Trade Free brokerage plan, you also get access to in-depth research and stock picks from our experienced team of analysts.

Rs.10 per order is charged for intraday trades for which you provide at least the exchange-prescribed margins.

Not at all. The choice to square off the trade is at your discretion. You can convert the order from intraday to delivery (Cash segment) or carry-forward (Futures & Options segment). To do so, you need to pay just a flat brokerage of ` 10 per executed order for Futures & Options position and 0.20% of the transaction value for Cash segment position.

This is a one-time subscription plan. It will remain valid until the plan is discontinued or you choose to switch to a different plan.

No, there are NO renewal fees for this plan.

For prospective customers, trade free plan is currently available only for Resident Indians (Individuals)

All existing customers are eligible to upgrade to the Trade Free Plan, except the following:

  1. Non Resident Indian (NRI) customers

  2. Customers who belong to 'Offline' customer type

  3. Franchisee Clients

A dealer-assisted trade is one in which the trade order is placed by a Kotak Securities dealer/customer service executive/ authorised person (AP) as instructed by the client. This would incur an additional feeof maximum `49. per executed order (Subject to maximum of 2.5% regulatory allowed brokerage).

Note: This additional fee will also apply to auto square off trades (positions closed by the system in case of high exposure trades, or liquidation by our Risk Management System due to any reason).

Expiry/exercise or assignment trades will be charged ` 10 per executed order.

If a position is liquidated by the RMS in case of margin or debtors shortfall , additional brokerage of Rs.100 per executed order will be charged over and above the brokerage rate.(Subject to maximum of 2.5% regulatory allowed brokerage)

Any request for activaton received before 3:30 PM on a working day would be processed the same day. Requests received after 3:30 PM on a working day, would be processed on the next working day.
