Groww charges: three worked examples
Each example adds up every charge on a round trip (buy and sell). The delivery and intraday examples buy and sell ₹1,00,000 of shares once each. The options example buys premium worth ₹50,000 and sells it for ₹60,000. Amounts are rounded to the nearest paisa and leave out tiny exchange investor-protection levies.
| Charge | Delivery (₹1,00,000 buy and sell) | Intraday (₹1,00,000 buy and sell) | Options (₹50,000 buy, ₹60,000 sell) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brokerage | ₹40.00 | ₹40.00 | ₹40.00 |
| STT | ₹200.00 | ₹25.00 | ₹90.00 |
| Exchange transaction charges | ₹6.14 | ₹6.14 | ₹39.08 |
| SEBI turnover fee | ₹0.20 | ₹0.20 | ₹0.11 |
| Stamp duty | ₹15.00 | ₹3.00 | ₹1.50 |
| GST | ₹8.34 | ₹8.34 | ₹14.25 |
| DP charge on the sell | ₹23.60 | ₹0.00 | ₹0.00 |
| Total charges | ₹293.28 | ₹82.68 | ₹184.95 |
| Total as % of turnover | 0.293% | 0.083% | 0.168% |
Two things stand out. On a delivery trade STT is the largest cost, larger than Groww’s own brokerage, and it is the same at every broker. Because the DP charge is applied on every sell, frequent small sells add up. Profit or loss on the trade itself is not included, and neither is income tax on gains.
