Angel One charges a flat ₹20 per executed currency futures or options order (or 0.25% of transaction value, whichever is lower), plus applicable exchange charges, SEBI turnover fees (₹10 per crore), stamp duty, and 18% GST. No STT applies.
This means every time you place a currency trade—whether you buy or sell—the maximum brokerage you pay is ₹20. You also pay tiny exchange fees and a small government charge based on your trade size. Everything is simple and clear, with no hidden fees.
What is the flat brokerage on currency trades?
Angel One charges a flat ₹20 per executed order in currency futures or options, or 0.25% of the transaction value—whichever is lower.
Are there any securities transaction taxes (STT)?
No, currency trades are exempt from STT under SEBI rules. This means you don’t pay the standard stock-market trading tax. It helps keep your costs slightly lower.
What exchange transaction charges apply?
Every trade also includes exchange fees. For currency futures on NSE, the charge is about 0.00035% of turnover. For options, it's around 0.0311%. On BSE, futures cost about 0.00045% and options about 0.001% of turnover.
Is SEBI turnover fee included?
Yes. SEBI charges a flat fee of ₹10 per crore of turnover. Angel One includes this in your trade cost, so it is applied automatically.
What stamp duty do I pay?
Stamp duty applies only to buy trades. For futures it's 0.0001% of turnover. For options, it's about 0.003% of premium value. Sell trades do not attract this charge.
How much GST is charged?
GST at 18% is applied on the total of brokerage plus exchange transaction charges. This is automatically added, with no surprises in your bill.
In simple words, for every currency trade you make with Angel One, you pay one flat fee, some small government taxes, and legal charges. All are clear, small, and easy to track. This way you know exactly how much your trade costs, and you don’t get surprised by hidden charges.
