Does Angel One charge for account inactivity?

By PriyaSahu

       No, Angel One does not charge any fees specifically for account inactivity. But, you should know that from the second year onwards, Account Maintenance Charges (AMC) are charged every year whether you trade or not. So, even if your account is inactive, AMC will still be deducted as per Angel One’s policy.


       AMC is a yearly fee that keeps your Demat account active and maintained with the stock exchange. The first year is usually free as a welcome offer. After that, AMC is charged every quarter or annually depending on the type of account you have. This fee is standard in most brokerage firms, not only Angel One.


       If you want to avoid or reduce AMC charges, you can open a Basic Services Demat Account (BSDA) if your investment value is less than ₹4 lakh. This account type has lower or no AMC charges. Also, regular trading might help avoid some fees in certain account types.
