Very high brokerage charges compared to others and no service in return. You pay 0.50% + GST, BOTH on purchase and sell of shares! For e.g If you bought shares worth 10 lakh rupees Axis direct will cut 5700 rupees as brokerage. When you sell 10 lakh rupees worth shares, again Axis direct will cut 5700 rupees. When your share price increases and total investment amount increases and you will eventually pay 0.50 % on the TOTAL share amount at that time...imagine!. I did not know this before unfortunately. I sent email to Axis direct and asked them to change my brokerage plan but they refused to do it ! I am closing Axis demat soon and will opt for other brokerages which charge 0 % on delivery. You save lot of money when you calculate. Do not opt for Axis direct ! They are looters.

Never rely upon them. They have got a big Brand name, but their services are very very poor. Their only concern is to earn Brokerage for which they provide wrong recommendations and do not care if the client is loosing money on their recommendations

WORST DEMAT SERVICES!!!!
In the name of full service broker they will provide you levels where you have to take huge LOTS and this way you will pay 2 times charges against per LOTS, Which will be huge and you will never be able to pay this charges from profit because their provided calls don’t have the potential to earn profits after paying the charges . Even most of their calls will be failed and after a time your capital will be zero to pay their charges.

Please note : Axis tips are the tips where you are going to pay charges more than the looses and regarding the profit ~ That will never happen.

Better to use Groww , one of the best demat and for advisory, use Sebi registered companies or Learn.

Axis Direct is a fraud company. They cheat the customers by not explaining the brokerage charges and charge high amount. Even there predictions are worst. They are having fraud employees who call people and then cheats them. Request not to do trade with them.

I don’t believe AxisDirect is still paying or even pays at all, I wish the can return my money, I was restricted for no reason, I contacted their support and submitted my informations but they didn’t allow me into my account, I now made $14,500 weekly from benarmstrong-trades. com and they allow me withdraw that’s was why I stop using AxisDirect. One other thing I noticed about AxisDirect is they are very nice to beginners until you make deposit. 😡😡

Axis Demat account is extremely rubbish , the charges are very high and they have so strict rules within organization that the flexibility required for trading is not there , moreover the agents are immature , they have to make commission somehow by recommending incorrect stocks of buy and sell , I have kept axis demat for 5 years only to make losses and wasting time with new agent every 3-4 months .
Don’t ever use axis demat

Please never subscribe Axis direct, it is managed by micky mouse team. They steal you money in no time, and they have there own reasons to debit each time. Mostly they kill you by delaying your payments for quite long. Their website is structured in a way that, you will not reach to the hidden menus to get your payments back. Customer service response takes only 48 hours, and always they ensure that pre drafted replies are reaching to you.

There are a lot of hidden charges. While opening the DMAT account they say the brokerage is zero for purchasing and while selling the charge Rs. 1/- per share. I purchased 200 shares of a company for Rs. 3754/- and sold all the 200 units for Rs. 4055/- thinking that I am not making any loss. But after deducting all their charges and taxes only Rs. 3352/- credited to my account.
