What does commission free trading mean?

Commission-free trading means that investors do not have to pay a commission fee to execute buy or sell orders for stocks, ETFs, or other securities. In India, this typically applies to online brokers or trading platforms that allow users to trade without charging a fee for each transaction.

This is especially attractive to retail investors as it reduces the overall cost of trading. However, while commission-free trading might sound appealing, other charges, such as taxes, transaction fees, or service fees, may still apply.

For example, some brokers in India may offer commission-free trading on equity or commodity markets, where they earn revenue through other means, like a small spread between buying and selling prices or by charging fees for premium services like margin trading, research, or advanced tools.
