What the same trades cost on each broker
These examples add up brokerage, STT, exchange charges, SEBI fees, stamp duty, GST and the DP charge on a round trip (buy and sell). Delivery and intraday trades buy and sell ₹1,00,000 of shares once each. The options trade buys premium worth ₹50,000 and sells it for ₹60,000, with one lot per order. Amounts are rounded to the nearest paisa.
| Trade | Groww | Angel One |
|---|---|---|
| Delivery (₹1,00,000 buy and sell) | ₹293.28 | ₹293.28 |
| Intraday (₹1,00,000 buy and sell) | ₹82.68 | ₹82.68 |
| Options (₹50,000 buy, ₹60,000 sell) | ₹184.95 | ₹184.95 |
The three examples cost the same on both brokers because brokerage and DP charges are identical at these sizes. The difference shows up outside a single trade: Groww has no AMC, and Angel One offers a phone-order service (₹20 per order) that Groww’s regular online plan does not list.
