Account opening. - It was a smooth process.An executive came and collected the documents from my home. 2 copies of documents required i.e. PAN 2 copies, 6 month bank statement 2 copies Photo 2. No cancel cheque required. One cheque for subscription to the Mega value plan and one margin cheque. Their account opening process is a bit slow. It took 6 working days for them to open my account. One strange thing is they clear the cheque first from the bank before opening the account. I guess it is to verify the bank or something else. But really not bothered about it.
Platform - NSE NOW is provided for trading. It is provided free of cost. The quote refresh speed and the order execution is as usual good in NSE NOW. Now regarding chart, what more to say, everyone here in TJ knows how the chart of NOW is
Backoffice - The backoffice is pretty decent. The interface is quite good also. It works with all browsers. Some unique things are like 'Appointment' where you can save your tasks. Another good feature is you can get a duplicate copy of e-mail sent by Achiievers to you in the backoffice itself. So say you have accidentely deleted an important mail from your inbox you can get a copy of it in the BO.
On the negative side there are no facility of instant funds transfer. You have to do a funds transfer if you have ICICI/HDFC/AXIS or you can do a NEFT. After that you have to call them up or send them a mail for it to get updated into your account otherwise it will get reflected on your account the next day.
Subscription - There is no auto-debit of the subscription charges from your account unlike RKSV where they automatically debits their charges at the first of every month. To me this is a very good thing.
Demat AMC - Rs. 400/- is charged for Demat every year.
Margin against DP holdings - This is one of the most discussed and requested service in TJ. Achiievers have their own DP with CDSL. So no third-party like IL&FS involved in between. Margin will be given after appropriate Haircut. NSDL lovers will get a bit disappointed because Achiievers doesn't provides NSDL Demat account.
SMS - You will get 2 SMS alerts daily. One is for trade summary and the other one for Account balance.
All that said I am very much satisfied with Achiievers and I will recommend it to every trader.
