Re: Zerodha option brokerage
I think option brokerage:-
0.01% for the contract turnover for executed order [not contract note for the day] or Rs. 20 whichever is lower.
Zerodha pls clarify it with clear example of buy & sell say 4900PE & 5100CE currently, separately for 1LOT mininifty(20units) and nifty(50units).
So that our friend carnot11 can make change the brokerage calculator for us.

WOW!!! that is a lot of discussion about the charges ... One of the reasons why I was saying only Rs 20/executed order for options...
..
For futures, it is 0.01% or Rs 20 per executed order... If you buy and sell 2 lots of Nifty futures, you create a turnover of 100 x 5000(nifty @5000) + 100 x 5000 = 10lks ... at 0.01% you would pay Rs 50 for buying and Rs 50 per selling which is Rs 100 , but we charge you 0.01% or Rs 20 whichever is lower... so you pay Rs 20 for buying and Rs 20 for selling which is Rs 40 totally.
When you trade options, say you buy 1 lot of 5000 calls for Rs 100... Your turnover is (5000 + 100) x 50 = 255000.... You pay 0.01% of this turnover or Rs 20 whichever is lower... 0.01% of 255000 is Rs 25 and hence you pay Rs 20 which is lower...
But if you trade mini nifty options and you are doing only 1 lot, 20 x ( 5000 + 100) which is 101000, @ 0.01% you pay 10.01 which is lower than Rs 20, and hence you pay only Rs 10...
While calculating brokerages, we look at every individual executed order and see which is lower, 0.01% or Rs 20 and charge you the same...
Cheers...
