Emkay Global Brokerage Charges

In case you are looking to open a Demat and Trading account with Emkay Global Financial Services, you will be required to pay separate account opening charges for the equity and commodity accounts.

Here are the charges you are supposed to pay:

 

Here are the details on the brokerage charges levied by Emkay Global Financial Services across different segments:

 

To give you a clearer understanding, let’s take an example!

Let’s say you placed an order for 100 shares of Asian paints with the current market price of ₹140. The total turnover for this buy order would be ₹(100 X 140) i.e. ₹14,000.

You sold these stocks for ₹148, thereby making a profit of ₹800 in this particular trade. However, the sell trade turnover would be ₹14,800.

The total turnover of this order would be ₹(14,000 + 14,800) i.e. ₹28,800.

The brokerage charged by Emkay Global for this segment is 0.3%. With a simple calculation, you can find that the brokerage levied, in this case, would be ₹28,800 X 0.3% = ₹86.4.

There would be a few more charges/taxes that will eat your profits a bit more.

At the same time, this must be known that Exposure is a double-edged sword. If you have no idea about the implications or risks associated with exposure, it is better not to use it in the first place at all. This is for the simple reason that it can be hazardous to your trading account balance.
