ICICI Direct Vs Ventura - Pros and Cons

	ICICI Direct	Ventura
Pros	Offers 3-in-1 account which makes stock market investment very easy for casual investors. Wide range of investment options available under one portal. Provides a low bandwidth website which works well where internet connection is slow. GTC (good till cancellation) and off-market hours order placement facility is very useful.	Brokerage is negotiable if you pay around Rs 1.20 lakhs margin money when opening the account. This can be withdrawn once the account is opened. Advance money charged for prepaid plan (i.e. Rs 3500) is reimbursed against similar amount of brokerage generated over the period of time.
Cons	ICICI Security charges highest brokerage in comparison to most of the retail brokers in India. Very high 'minimum brokerage' of Rs 35 per trade or 2.5% of the trade value whichever is lower. Poor performance of website is reported in peak hours of trading. Trading Terminal (Trade Racer) cost Rs 75 per month if brokerage paid in a month is less then Rs 750. Demat Account is mandatory. Call & trade cost extra Rs 50 per trade in Neo/Prime Plans.	Only prepaid plans are available.
