How much brokerage does Upstox charge?
The calculator uses Upstox’s standard plan. Its paid Upstox Plus plan lists brokerage of up to ₹30 per order. In its own words: Up to ₹20/order charged on Stocks, F&O, Commodity and Currency trades
(upstox.com/brokerage-charges).
| Charge | Upstox |
|---|---|
| Equity delivery brokerage | ₹20 |
| Equity intraday brokerage | ₹20 or 0.1%, whichever is lower |
| Futures brokerage | ₹20 or 0.05%, whichever is lower |
| Options brokerage | ₹20 |
| Currency futures brokerage | ₹20 or 0.05%, whichever is lower |
| Currency options brokerage | ₹20 |
| Commodity futures brokerage | ₹20 or 0.05%, whichever is lower |
| Commodity options brokerage | ₹20 |
| DP charge (delivery sell) | ₹20 per scrip per day, only on a sell from delivery. Upstox puts demat charges in the GST base on delivery. |
| AMC (annual maintenance) | ₹0 in the first year for new customers; after that ₹300 + GST for non-BSDA accounts. BSDA terms are on a separate Upstox page. |
| Account opening | Free. |
What to know about Upstox's charges
- Delivery is ₹20 per executed order, not free.
- Intraday is ₹20 or 0.1% and futures ₹20 or 0.05%, whichever is lower. Both percentages are above Zerodha’s 0.03%, so an order has to be bigger before the ₹20 ceiling takes over.
- An auto square-off costs ₹75 + GST, and so does call and trade.
- MTF interest is ₹20 a day for every ₹40,000 slab, and pledging or unpledging costs ₹20 + GST per scrip.
- Upstox notes that IPFT is now combined with transaction charges.

How this calculator works
- Brokerage is charged on each executed order, so a buy and a sell pay it twice. Where Upstox states "₹X or Y%, whichever is lower", the calculator takes the lower on each order.
- STT, exchange and SEBI charges, stamp duty and GST come on top, at the NSE rates above. BSE rates differ by scrip group.
- DP charge: once per scrip on a delivery sell, as Upstox's page states it.
- Limits. Equity on NSE only: currency and commodity brokerage is in the table above but not in the calculator. One plan, after any first-30-days offer. Contract notes round some charges, so expect a few paise of difference. Charges change: check the date and Upstox's page before you trade.
