• Equity Delivery Based Trades: 0.10% or Rs. 20 per trade whichever is lower. AS of Dec 1, they have made the delivery based trades to have ZERO brokerage. So there will be no brokerage charged for delivery based trades anymore. You can read more about Zerodha Zero Brokerage plan here.

• Equity Future: 0.01% or Rs. 20 per trade whichever is lower
