How zero brokerage works?

Zero brokerage works by eliminating the broker’s commission fee on trades, usually for specific categories like equity delivery or intraday trading. Instead of earning through commissions, zero brokerage platforms make money through:

1. No commission on selected trades (e.g., delivery trades)
2. Earn via other services like margin funding, interest on idle funds, and premium tools
3. Regulatory charges like STT, GST, and exchange fees still apply
4. Designed to attract volume-based or long-term investors

Example: You buy 50 shares of a company worth ₹5,000. With zero brokerage, you pay ₹0 to the broker, but regulatory charges still apply.
