Haii Neo,
I am a little confused on whether I should answer your query or not. But, still, unable to control my enthusiasm and proceeding after a lot of hesitation.
What is the "Tran Charge" basis?
Basis - It should be Common & Simple Business Sense / Logic. For a Business to run Commercially Successful, I believe their Income / Revenue should be more than their Expenditure, which will turn out to be their Profit / Margin.
If based on Turnover, what is the rate at which this is charged?
Rs.440 Per crore. It can be easily understood from their Brokerage Calculator and clearly mentioned in their Charges List Excel file.
As per my reading: If "Turnover" based, Taking commodity: Gold. Assuming TO: 5560800, Charge: 244.68. Which makes it: 4.4 Rs./Lac?
The above Point reflects here. Rs.4.4 Per Lac turns out to Rs.440 Per Crore.
Is it charged by exchange? If yes, is the full amount paid to exchange?
No. It is not charged by Exchange. Not at this rate atleast. Exchange rates for the members are different. It has a different slab. Answer to the first point implies here. How will Zerodha pay it's employees, meet it's expenses and survive, if the full amount collected is paid to the exchange.
Or is it a part of brokerage? If yes, please provide relevant charge details.
As per Zerodha's terminology, it is their Transaction Charges, which is straightaway mentioned in their Brokerage Calculator.
If it is charged by exchange, please provide relevant circular no. or any resource where we can check this.
As mentioned earlier, Exchange Transaction Charges are different. You can go through their circular in their website www.mcxindia.com
I can understand if you are not willing to state this on a public forum, PM me if this is the case.
I believe Zerodha has put everything straight forward in their website and even in various discussion threads of Traderji. So, I don't see if they are really hesitant / Not Willing to share info on a public forum.
Finally, coming to your query on Zerodha's turnover, it is published in various leading english dailies. Google and you will get the first link mentioning this.
Good Luck,
Prakash.
