Frequently Asked Questions

What is “true cost” beyond commission?

Every PSX trade also attracts CDC custody charges, NCCPL levies, and 15% sales tax on the broker’s commission. This ranker adds them all so you compare what actually leaves your account.

Do all brokers charge the same commission?

Almost — PSX mandates 0.15% or 3 paisa/share (whichever is higher), so brokers compete on platforms, research, service and account features instead. Discount brokers may shave the rate for high volumes.

How often do broker charges change?

Schedules of charges are revised periodically. Always confirm the latest schedule directly with the broker before opening an account.

Is the cheapest broker the best?

Not necessarily — weigh research quality, app reliability and customer service. The table includes research ratings to help you decide.
