Important: PSX mandates a standard commission schedule — 3 paisa per share or 0.15% of trade value (whichever is higher). Most brokers follow this exactly. The real differences are in platforms, research quality, customer service, and account features. Always confirm the latest schedule of charges directly with the broker before opening an account.
