YE TEEN CHEEZEIN HAIN KYA?

TOTAL COST KAISE BANTI HAI — scratch se derive karo

Chalo trade ki total cost ko derive karte hain, memorise nahi karte. Hum ise piece by piece build karte hain.

Maano tum ek leg (buy ya sell) par turnover $T = Price \times Quantity$ trade karte ho.

Step 1 — Brokerage. Broker ya toh flat charge karta hai ya percentage. $B = min (f, b \cdot T)$ Yeh step kyun? Discount brokers brokerage ko ek flat $f$ (jaise ₹20) YA ek percentage $b$ (jaise 0.03%) par cap karte hain, jo bhi kam ho — isliye hum $min$ lete hain.

Step 2 — STT (Securities Transaction Tax). Turnover par ek statutory tax. $STT = s \cdot T$ Yeh step kyun? Delivery equity ke liye $s = 0.1%$ dono buy aur sell par lagta hai. Intraday ke liye, $s = 0.025%$ sirf sell side par.

Step 3 — Exchange Transaction Charge. $E = e \cdot T$ Yeh step kyun? NSE/BSE apna matching engine use karne ke liye ek tiny % charge karte hain (NSE equity ke liye $\approx 0.00297%$ ).

Step 4 — SEBI turnover fee. $SEBI = k \cdot T, k = 0.0001% = \frac{10}{₹ 1 crore}$ Yeh step kyun? SEBI regulator ko fund karne ke liye ₹1 crore turnover par ₹10 charge karta hai.

Step 5 — Stamp Duty (sirf buy side par). $D = d \cdot T$ Yeh step kyun? Ye security holding ki creation par ek state tax hai, isliye ye sirf purchase par lagta hai (delivery equity ke liye $d = 0.015%$ ).

Step 6 — GST. $g = 18%$ par GST sirf (brokerage + exchange charge + SEBI fee) par lagta hai. $GST = g (B + E + SEBI)$ Yeh step kyun? GST service portion par ek tax hai — ye STT ya stamp duty par nahi lagta (woh pehle se hi taxes hain; tax par tax nahi lagta).

Step 7 — DP charge (sirf sell side par). $DP = c (ek flat amount, jaise ₹13.5 + GST, per scrip per day)$ Yeh step kyun? Ye ek flat record-keeping fee hai, turnover se independent — isliye ye $T$ ke saath scale nahi karta.

SEBI turnover fee kitni hoti hai?

₹1 crore turnover par ₹10 (0.0001%).

DP charge choti trades ko sabse zyada kyun hurt karta hai?

Recall Feynman: 12-saal ke bachche ko explain karo

Socho tumhare shares ek special locker mein rehte hain (the depository). Tumhara broker us locker ka keeper hai. Jab bhi tum shares bahar nikaalte ho bechne ke liye, locker-keeper ek chhota fixed sikka (DP charge) leta hai — ek share nikalo ya hazaar, sikka same hi hoga, isliye sirf ek share nikalna bekar deal hai. Locker ki ek yearly kiraya (AMC) bhi hoti hai jo tum tab bhi bharte ho jab kabhi kholo bhi nahi. Aur raja (government) har baar trade par thoda tax leta hai (STT, stamp, GST) — raja se argument nahi hota. Isliye screen par jo price dikhti hai woh kabhi real price nahi hoti; locker ka sikka, kiraya, aur raja ka tax add karo.
