Hi Dinesh,

Your concern is genuine. But note:
1. We are not the only stock broker in India offering cheap brokerage plan. There are over 20 discount stock brokers offering ultra-low brokerage.

2. The reason our prices are low are;
A. We are online brokers. We do not have physical offices in 100''s of cities. Our operational cost is way lower then traditional brokers like Sharekhan or Angel.
B. We do not spend huge sum of money on advertisements.
C. We focus on trading products only. We do not provide many add-on services like research, recommendations, IPO, Local Relationship Manager etc.

3. All our trading software are available for free of change. This include mobile trading app and trading terminal.

4. Hidden charges
All our charges are mentioned on our website at http://www.prostocks.com/charge-list.html
We assure you that you will not be charged any thing else which is not on this page.

We are the most transparent stock broker in India. You can even reach out our CEO anytime of the day as ask as many questions you may have.

Hope this helps.
