Discount brokers provide less number of services but at a much cheaper price. They offer no-frill services and specialized into few investment options. Discount brokers are good for 'do-it-yourself' kind of investors. While the services offered by them varies from broker to broker, many of the discount stock brokers do not provide services like stock research, investment in IPO's, Mutual Funds, FD's, Bonds and NCD's. They generally do not have their own research teams and thus do not provide wealth management related services. There are two sub categories of discount brokers in India by the way they charge the brokerage; Brokers charging Fixed Price per Trade and Brokers charging Fixed Monthly Fees for unlimited Trades. Below is the list of popular discount brokers in India:
