How to Calculate DP Charges in Paytm Money?

As already discussed that the DP charges are charged per scrip irrespective of the number of scrips and therefore it becomes important to understand how it is being calculated.

To get a better understanding let’s consider different scenarios:

Raman bought  100 shares of company X and 200 shares of company Y . After gaining good profit from these two shares he decided to sell these shares. 

CASE 1. If he sells 50 shares of company X in the morning and 20 in the afternoon, then the total DP Charges applied per scrip will be Rs.10+18%GST i.e ₹11.8

CASE 2. If he sells 20 shares of company X and 50 shares of company Y, then the total DP charges applied will be Rs.10+Rs.10=Rs.20 + 18% GST. 

Wondering why? 

This is because, in the first case, the shares of one scrip were sold while in the second case Raman sold the shares of two different scrips, i.e. X and Y, thus the DP charges are imposed two times. 

CASE 3. If he sells 20 shares of company Y in the morning and 30 shares of the same company on the next day, then the charge applied  will  be;
Rs.10+Rs.10=Rs.20+18%GST.

Confused?

Well! you are not alone. 

Although the broker charged the DP charges per scrip it is charged per day. Thus, if the shares of the same scrip are sold in fragments in two or more different days then the DP charges are charged every time the shares are debited from the Demat account.
