DP Charge on WebNotes

DP charge on BTST trades at Zerodha

Fri, 19 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

A DP charge at Zerodha applies to a buy-today-sell-tomorrow (BTST) sell, the same Rs 15.34 per scrip charged on any equity delivery sell as of 19 June 2026, because the BTST sell debits the client’s CDSL demat account on the settlement date. The charge is tied to the demat debit instruction, not to how long the shares were held, so a position bought one day and sold the next still triggers it.

Hidden charges at Zerodha: the complete list

Zerodha is a SEBI-registered stockbroker (registration INZ000031633) that discloses every fee it levies on its public charges schedule at zerodha.com/charges, so it has no undisclosed or hidden charges in the literal sense. What clients call hidden charges are the disclosed fees they did not anticipate when they opened the account: the depository charge on every delivery sell, the annual demat maintenance fee, and the 18 per cent GST that rides on top of brokerage and exchange charges.

Why the DP charge does not appear on the contract note

What this is about

A client who sells delivery shares on Zerodha and then opens the contract note for that trade will not find the DP charge on it. The contract note lists brokerage, STT , exchange transaction charges, the SEBI turnover fee, stamp duty , and GST, but the Rs 15.34 per-scrip DP charge is absent. This is by design, not an omission. The DP charge is a depository charge, levied on the demat debit rather than on the trade, so it is posted to the funds ledger separately.
