Sharekhan- Research & update of company info is good. Online trading with after hours facility is also very good. But only problem is customer service, which is very very poor. Transfering money to saving a/c is very slow. ICICI Direct- Advantage is 3in1 a/c.Saving of time in transfering of money to saving a/c We can save time when you are in a urgent need. One can get money on same day. But only thing is that they charged some extra brokerage.
ICICIdirect is good enough for online trading as compared to others untill u know the site's application properly and overlook high brokarage. Besides it works good in broadband rather than dial-up connection
ICICIdirect is the worst place to do the trading.It doesn't showup when there is a urgent need. Even it's Customer Service web-page is also not working. It also charges very high brokerage ...hence i will not recommend this trading site to any one.
ICICIdirect is the worst place to do the trading.It doesn't showup when there is a urgent need for that(like during market crash,correction).This is a very badsite and they charge huge brokerage ...hence i will not recommend even to my enemies.

Hi, - WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE - High Brokerage FEES - SLOW WEBSITE - NO TICKER
Opening demat a/c with icic is a pathetic procedure. The coordinators are not at all coperative..You have to go behind them and get ur work done. I am trying to do it for last 7 months but its not happening with one or the other reason..... its really pathetic

Hi Guys, I had icici direct trading account for 4 years. It is only goo for beginers. But if you are active trader and doing day do day trading then icicidirect is the worst. Main problem of icici direct it doesn't have any live streamer like reliace money, share khan and investmartindia . So in icici direct there is a time lag of getting data. Icici direct is built on using ASP programming language which is completely obsolete, no company is using it for online trading in USA.

BUT YES U CAN OPEN A/C & EVEN TRADE IF U HAVE A MONEY TREE & U DONT BOTHER OF LOOSING MONEY JUST BECAUSE OF THIS MAHA MAHA MAHA CHOR ICICI .. TAKE CARE.......TELLIN AGAIN DONT TRADE THROUGH ICICI IF U WANT TO SAFE UR HARD EARN MONEY .
Hi I read all your comments. Agree, icicidirect is not best, but it is better than others. My experience is that it is solid user friendly, easy purchase and redemption of mutual funds, easy equity. Everyday I open the site, it is quite fast, why you ppl are blaming it? Yes sometimes it is rather slow and show some tecnical problem. It's customer service I found is very good. It took me 2 months to get an account. I will recommend it for everybody till foreign online trading doesn't start. Problem with indiabulls is that they use your deposit,without permission. Reliance money is pathetic, you can't use it. Others I don't know. icicidirect is good.

ICICI On line Trading is always better but some times it is very worst. Just go through Reliance Money its very easy and fast going process and they will give very quick response. If you want any suggestions ask to reliance money customer service.
worst service. My account was locked because of they loosing my application form in Mumbai floods. For last 2 months I'm trying to open the same with out any success. PL DO NOT OPEN A ICICI DIRECT ACCOUNT. There customer service, Nanganullur branch, ICICI's Teynampet office everybody had given literally 100s of promises for collecting form but nothing has happened. I went & submitted the form in Nanganullur but till date it is not reflected in the system. I'm moving out of ICICI for sure.
