What Are The Various Cost Elements That We've Considered?
There are primarily 6 types of costs that you incur when you buy and sell stocks.
- Brokerage - This is a cost that the broker levies, many discount brokers keep this free for the Equity/Cash segment. Hence in this calculation, we considered brokerage as '0'.
- STT (Securities Transaction Tax) - STT is a tax levied at the time of purchase and sale of securities listed on stock exchanges in India. For the cash segment, STT is levied both while buying an equity share and while selling at the rate of 0.1 per cent of the share value.
- Transaction Charges - Also known as the Exchange Transaction Fees, is a fee the exchanges charge to the broker. The broker, in turn, passes on these costs to the investor. At the moment, the charges are as follows. NSE: 0.00345% & BSE: 0.00375%. This fee is levied on both the buy and sell value of the transactions.
- Stamp Charges - These are charges levied by the Govt. of India on any transfer of ownership and is currently applicable on the buy side of the securities.
- SEBI Charges - SEBI levies turnover-based fees for buy and sell transactions in all types of securities. The fee currently is ₹ 10/crore of turnover. In the calculations, we have prorated it based on the transaction value.
- DP Charges - DP Charges are levied by the Depository (CDSL or NSDL) and the Broker at Rs. 13.5 (+ 18% GST) per day per scrip for the stocks sold from your holdings.
