Shoonya Brokerage Calculator
Calculate Shoonya's brokerage, STT, GST, exchange charges, and DP charges for your trade — instantly, with no signup.
No state selector: since a 2020 amendment to the Indian Stamp Act, stamp duty on securities transactions is a single nationwide rate — it no longer varies by the trader’s state. Only how the revenue is distributed between states differs, not the rate you pay.

- Shoonya's main pricing page (shoonya.com/pricing) still returned empty/'no data available' charge tables on a second fetch attempt; figures are confirmed from Shoonya's official FAQ subdomain (faq.shoonya.com) instead, cross-checked against an independent secondary source (ComparShareBrokers) which reported matching numbers — the 0.03%-or-₹5 structure on intraday/futures and flat ₹5 on options is not third-party guesswork, it's the FAQ subdomain's own stated wording.
- 'Zero brokerage' applies to delivery only — intraday and futures are ₹5 or 0.03% (whichever is lower) per order, and options are a flat ₹5 per order. Regardless of brokerage, all trades still carry STT, exchange transaction charges, SEBI fees, stamp duty, and 18% GST on the brokerage/exchange-charge portion, same as every other broker on this list — 'zero brokerage' is not 'zero charges'.
- Female clients and mutual-fund transactions get a discounted DP rate (₹8.75 + GST) — the standard rate (₹9 + GST) is modeled here.
- AMC is confirmed ₹0/year (permanently free) and account opening is ₹0 — Finvasia proposed a ₹499/year AMC in Dec 2024 and reportedly withdrew it after user backlash; this history could not be independently re-confirmed via secondary sources during initial research.
- Manually verified against shoonya.com and faq.shoonya.com directly by the site owner on 2026-07-22, including the 2016 launch-year figure (vs. the conflicting 2022 figure noted in one secondary source) — confirmed accurate as modeled, no changes needed.

Shoonya is the zero-brokerage trading and investing platform built by Finvasia, a financial technology group founded in 2009 by brothers Sarvjeet Singh Virk and Tajinder Virk, headquartered in Mohali, Punjab. Shoonya itself launched in 2016 as Finvasia's India-focused zero-commission platform, built on the same trading technology Finvasia uses across its other international brands — confirmed against the 2016 figure rather than the conflicting 2022 date one secondary source cited during initial research.
Shoonya's positioning is genuinely zero brokerage on equity delivery — not a promotional rate, a subscription unlock, or a rate that reverts after a trial period. But 'zero brokerage' describes one line item, not the whole bill: intraday and futures trades cost ₹5 or 0.03% of trade value (whichever is lower) per order, options cost a flat ₹5 per order, and — as with every broker — government taxes (STT, stamp duty), exchange transaction charges, SEBI fees, GST, and DP charges on delivery sells still apply regardless of what the broker itself charges.
Shoonya's charge structure
This calculator models Shoonya's confirmed structure: ₹0 on equity delivery, ₹5 or 0.03% of trade value (whichever is lower) on intraday and futures, and a flat ₹5 per order on options — sourced from Shoonya's official FAQ subdomain and cross-checked against an independent secondary source reporting matching figures. DP charge is modeled at ₹9 + 18% GST (₹10.62) per scrip on delivery sells; note that female clients and mutual-fund transactions reportedly get a discounted ₹8.75 + GST rate, not modeled here. Shoonya's main pricing page (shoonya.com/pricing) did not render its charge tables for automated fetch tools on two separate attempts — these figures come from the FAQ subdomain instead, and a manual browser check is still recommended before treating any number here as final.
| Trade type | Brokerage |
|---|---|
| Equity delivery | ₹0 (zero brokerage) |
| Equity intraday | 0.03% or ₹5.00 per order, whichever is lower |
| F&O futures | 0.03% or ₹5.00 per order, whichever is lower |
| F&O options | Flat ₹5.00 per order |
| DP charge (delivery sell only) | ₹10.62 per scrip |
Shoonya: pros & cons
Pros
- Genuinely ₹0 brokerage on equity delivery — not a limited-time promotion, matching the best zero-delivery-brokerage brokers on this list.
- Low, capped intraday/futures brokerage (₹5 or 0.03%, whichever is lower) and a flat ₹5 on options — among the cheapest active-trading fee structures researched for this comparison.
- DP charge of ₹9 + GST is confirmed as one of the lowest among the brokers on this list.
- AMC and account opening are both confirmed ₹0 — no recurring account-holding cost layered on top of trading charges.
Cons
- 'Zero brokerage' only applies to equity delivery — intraday, futures, and options all carry per-order charges, and government taxes/exchange fees/GST/DP charges apply on top regardless of Shoonya's own brokerage, same as any broker.
- Smaller company scale and shorter track record as a retail-facing brand than long-established full-service brokers, even though parent Finvasia has operated since 2009.
- Reports that Finvasia proposed (then withdrew) a ₹499/year AMC in December 2024 suggest the zero-AMC position, while true today, has been reconsidered before and isn't guaranteed to be permanent.
