FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Why is my actual profit much less than my gross P&L?+

Trading incurs multiple layers of costs: brokerage, STT, exchange charges, SEBI charges, stamp duty, GST on charges, and finally income tax on the remaining profit. For high-frequency traders or options traders, these charges can consume 30-50% or more of gross profits if not managed carefully.

What is the difference between gross P&L and net P&L?+

Gross P&L is your profit/loss calculated purely from price difference × quantity — ignoring all costs. Net P&L is what actually hits your bank account after all transaction charges and income tax are deducted. The gap between the two is what most traders underestimate.

How can I reduce my trading costs?+

Key ways to reduce costs: (1) Use flat-fee discount brokers (₹20/order cap). (2) Avoid excessive churning — each trade doubles your charge exposure. (3) For long-term investing, use delivery which has ₹0 brokerage. (4) Time your expiry trades to avoid high STT on in-the-money options at expiry.

Is this calculator accurate for my ITR filing?+

This calculator gives a close estimate using standard charge rates. For ITR filing, always use your actual broker statement for exact figures. Different brokers may have slightly different exchange charge tiers, and state-specific stamp duty rates may vary.
