On what grounds you frame that statement for ShareKhan ? Actually your experience with Sharekhan will contribute in deciding whether to go with Sharekhan or not . Thank you .

I have started using Zerodha.. Its very user friendly.. Bt One thing which is lacking in zerodha is you have to add your Watchlist yourself.. If supposingly i wanted to see Top 50 stocks i cannot see in it.. I hv to check from other sites and then add the same in My watch List..

SEBI should allow investors to directly trade in shares rather than through an intermediary.The earlier it is done the better.

1 )Zerodha is not responding calls when it is needed and even not giving a call back even after the call got missed.
2) Why our money is not showing in the fund ? Seems they are taking our money into their account when it is off day of share market. I got shocked when it showed zero balance in my account.
3) Withdraw time should be available on 24 hours basis.
4) Why should we wait to withdraw our money for more than 24 hours.

Ranking here is quantitative..Ranking based on Quality of service is very difficult
There could be other brokers who might provide superior services. End of the day it comes to charges & servers being run without issues. Zerodh & Upstox often has server issues. ICICI Sec & Sharekhan are extremely costly. Their lowest brokerage plan is 5-10times costlier than Upstox n Zerodha. Alice blue is also equally good in terms of charges n services.
