I want to close my trading acc HDFSEC becaof high charges,But I tried motilal also it is same.they are charging diffrent way some you don''t understand,atleast HDFCSEC answer and explain if you ask something,but the motilal never answer simply reply contact our frenchisy . better invest your money but not in stock be cathese brokers are eating your earning,and if you loose also they charge.
Borkerage charges are very high. They are not folloiwng the charges specified in portal and dont know how the system will calculate.
Most of the times i didnt understand on what basis they are calculating brokerage. Same kind of volume and script they have charged diffrently.
FOr each sale transaction charging extra 25rs other than brokerages and which is not specified any where. I have enquired about this and did not get propoer response from HDFC and telling that this is for all the customers.

Brokerage for delivery segment with Hdfc securities is 0.50% or min Rs.25/- with ceiling of 2.5% on transaction value on both buy & sell on each trade. and for intraday segment it is 0.05% or min Rs.25/- with ceiling of 2.5% on transaction value on each trade For Eg- If you purchase 100 shares on delivery @ Rs. 45 / share. Total transaction value = Rs.4500/-
Brokerage. 4500) which comes to Rs.22.5 is lesser than Rs.25 , so Min.Rs.25 will be charged on that trade, taking into consideration it is not exceeding the ceiling of 2.5%
There are dp transaction charges on selling the shares from the demat account which is levied by hdfc bank.

I am having dmat account with HDFC securities. I am doing trading with phone for ordering the trade. The problems are that the staff at Madras branch are not attending the call. The reason I presume is due to over flooding of calls from the customers. In share trading every second counts. Can you make arrangements to speedy attention of customers in order placing.
243.1. Madhu Feb 11, 2013 12:44:03 AM IST |
@ kunti, you can dial their call n trade number on 33553366 prefix your area code for trading over phone.
They say no annual charges but they charge annual folio maintaince charges between 750rs to 300rs making it one of the most expensive. If you compare it to say icici it may look the same but if you look at the features once you login hdfc is very basic you cannot really tract the profit loss or trades or any other thing.

Hi Vipin,.. you can downthe p&l report online from your trading account, following the link History> sec settlement > Equity profit & loss report, and for the demat annual folio maintaince you should contact Hdfc Bank demat desk on 61606161.
Iam a frustated customer of hdfc bank''s demat/brokerage services. They are very costly and poorest service providers. I have no words to express my frustation. Iam taking an exit from their brokerage account.

The reason I presume is due to over flooding of calls from the customers. In share trading every second counts. If we miss the target to sell or buy we will be loosing thousands of rupees. Can you make arrangements to speedy attention of customers in order placing Due to some personal reason I am unable to maintain minimum balance in my savings bank account for which I am penalised Rs. 393x4 Rs.1572 by debitting from my account. This forces me to look for some other banks to do trading.Govt banks like SBI allow us to maintain O balance.

you can call and place your orders on their call n trade number- 33553366 prefixing your local city code.

HDFC charges huge depository charges.If you combine them with the brokerage charges, it eats up your profits considerably.

I had gone through compare chart in which hdfcsec .com is showing Demat AMC charges as nil but practically they charge heavely. Also every sell carried out by client is charged @20 Rs for demat account which is not shown in table. Any Reply.
Hdfcsec.com says they charge .15% on intra-day but their bills state .71%. this is a clear case of misguiding customers. Any reply from there end.

I suggest that for dp charges you may contact at 022 61606161 with Extn - 5 or write an email to Email as its charged by HDFC Bank Depository section.
However, brokerage for intra day HDFC Securities Ltd., charge 0.05% or Rs. 25/- on each side also brokerage structure is updated in their website

brokerage is on the higher side .... rest all is good. reduce minimum brokerage to Rs 15 and 0.2% delivery and 0.02% intra day (for online trades) . options brokerage should also be reduced to Rs 50-75 per lot . if they can do it these guys will beat competition hands down . customer service is excellent.

Hi, I agreed with your comment towards the HDFC Securities Ltd. However,i suggest that for dp charges you may contact at 022 61606161 with Extn - 5 or write an email to Email as its charged by HDFC Bank Depository section
WHAT HAD HAPPENED TO ME , I THINK HA NOT HAPPENED WITH ANYBODY . I GOT A JOB IN PUNE IN HDFC STANDARD LIFE 2008. SO THEY OPENED MY SALARY ACCOUNT, WITH THAT CREDIT CARD ALSO, AND EVEN THEY OPENED MY DEMAT ACCOUNT WHICH I NEVER WANT THAT TIME. COZ EVEN I WAS NOT AWARE OF A SINGLE THING IN SHARE MARKET. AS MY BOSS INSISTED OR CUD SAY FORCED ME TO OPEN DEMAT ACCOUNT. AS FOR CREDIT CARD I GOT BENFET , NO BLAME FOR IT . BUT FOR DEMAT I GOT SCREWED UP . THE KIT NEVER REACHED MY HOME . BUT WHEN AFTER 3 YEARS IN 2012 AUGUST , SUDDENLY I HAVE GIVEN A CHEQUE TO SOMEBODY TO CASH FROM MY ACCOUNT . THE CHEQUE GOT BOUNCED DUE TO INSUFFICIENT FUND . DO U KNOW WHY? BECA800 RS WAS DEDUCTED FROM MY ACCOUNT AS AMC AFTER 3 YEARS . WHICH I WAS NOT AWARE AND NOBODY HAD TOLD ME OF THAT . EVEN HDFC SEC PEOPLES HAVE NEVER INTIMATED ME . AS I WAS NOT AWARE OF THAT I HAVE TO CLOSE THAT DEMAT ACCOUNT. WHEN FINALLY I CLOSED IT UP , I SUFFERED A LOT . EVEN I ASKED THEM THAT I HAVE NEVER TRADED , OR EVEN I HAVE NEVER GET THE OPENING KIT . I GOT A REPLY THAT ITS COMPANY POLICY. SO UNETHICAL HDFC SEC DIVISION IS I CAME TO KNOW . AS I AM A DAILY TRADER SINCE LAST YEAR IN IIFL . IT IS GOOD .
