Ratnakar Securities Pricing

• The account opening charges are ₹1652, which include the initial fee along with lifetime free account maintenance. There are no separate account maintenance charges per year.
• Along with the fee, at the time of account opening, ₹330 needs to be paid as document charges.

Ratnakar Securities Brokerage

Brokerage is 0.03% for intraday trading and 0.3% for delivery trading.

To provide you with a quick idea of how it works, let’s take an example.

Let’s say you placed an order to buy 100 shares of Reliance Petro at each share price of ₹90. Then the next day, you placed another sell order of selling all those 100 shares at a price of ₹110.

Thus, the total trade turnover would be ₹(110+90) X 100 i.e. ₹20,000.

The broker generated in this case: 0.3% X ₹20,000 i.e. ₹60.
