// how charges are modelled
The calculator uses the published per-broker fee schedules and applies the statutory charges that every Indian broker must collect on your behalf — STT (Securities Transaction Tax), exchange transaction charges (NSE/BSE), SEBI fees, stamp duty (state-uniform since 1-Jul-2020) and GST at 18% on brokerage + exchange + SEBI charges.
The "best broker" highlight on each row reflects the highest net P&L for your exact trade inputs — useful when comparing a delivery-heavy vs F&O-heavy strategy. For intraday and options, the ₹20 cap typically makes the discount brokers tie on brokerage; the difference comes from execution speed, platform stability and customer service (not modelled here).
