NCDEX agri contracts and Zerodha

Sun, 21 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The National Commodity & Derivatives Exchange (NCDEX) is India’s principal agri-commodity derivatives exchange, regulated by the Securities and Exchange Board of India after the September 2015 merger of the Forward Markets Commission into SEBI, and Zerodha does not offer access to it. Zerodha routes commodity futures and options only to the Multi Commodity Exchange and the National Stock Exchange commodity segment, so the NCDEX agri contracts, from guar seed to castor seed, sit entirely outside a Zerodha account.

Commodity Transaction Tax (CTT)

Sat, 16 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The Commodity Transaction Tax (CTT) is a transaction-level tax levied on the sale or purchase of certain non-agricultural commodity derivatives on recognised commodity derivative exchanges in India. CTT was introduced by Chapter VII of the Finance Act, 2013 with effect from 1 July 2013 and is structurally analogous to the Securities Transaction Tax (STT) that applies to equity and equity-derivative transactions. CTT is collected by the stock broker or the commodity derivative exchange at the time of the transaction and remitted to the Central Government on behalf of the parties.
