Overview

The Investor Protection Fund Trust (IPFT) is a trust set up by the National Stock Exchange to compensate investors when a trading member defaults and the defaulting member’s own assets fall short of admitted claims. The IPFT charge is a per-turnover levy that NSE collects through brokers such as Zerodha and routes to the fund. On NSE equity and futures it runs to Rs 0.01 per crore of turnover plus 18 per cent GST (Zerodha IPFT charges support note, as of 19 June 2026). It is the smallest single item on a contract note, smaller than brokerage, STT, the exchange transaction charges and the SEBI turnover fee .
