Angel One charges ₹20 + GST as a flat fee for each request you make to de-pledge (unpledge) shares, regardless of the number of shares in the request.

What is the de‑pledge charge at Angel One?

Angel One charges a flat ₹20 per de‑pledge request, plus GST. This includes ₹5 that goes to the depository and ₹15 as Angel One’s service fee, effective for every unpledge request you place. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

Is de‑pledge fee applied per share or per request?

The fee is charged per request, not per share. Whether you unpledge 10 shares or 1,000 shares in one go, you pay only ₹20 + GST for that entire request. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

Do margin‑pledge and normal pledge have different fees?

No. Both margin‑pledge and normal pledge/unpledge requests incur the same ₹20 + GST charge per request. The ₹20 is split differently, but your total cost remains ₹20 + GST each time. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

When did Angel One set this fee?

This ₹20 + GST fee per pledge/unpledge request has been in effect since around October–November 2024, replacing previous charges which were similar. Angel One made these changes with their pricing update published on Oct 31, 2024. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}

Can unpledging happen automatically?

Yes, if shares were pledged to meet margin obligations or under MTF, Angel One may auto‑unpledge when margin dues are cleared. But this still counts as a request, so the ₹20 + GST fee applies. Sometimes, users report being charged even without requesting it directly, so always check your ledger. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}

How can you avoid extra de‑pledge charges?

To avoid multiple ₹20 charges:

• Combine multiple unpledge requests into a single one.
• Clear margin or MTF dues early so auto‑unpledge isn't triggered later.
• Track your ledger and statements to know when charges happen.
