Conclusion

“Reliance Securities is one of those stockbrokers that provides decent service and research along with the wide offline presence and trading products (especially Reliance Tick Pro, one of the top-performing trading applications in the country) but falls short when it comes to provides value for money services. 

All the aspects the broker is good in, are available to other stockbrokers at a much cheaper price and thus, Reliance Securities has not been able to create a rapport in the market till date.

It is certainly one of the good ones but again, does not provide the kind of value you may expect upon paying such hefty charges.”
