Charges shown on the Kite order window

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

The Charges field on the Kite order window is an estimate of the all-in cost of the trade you are about to place, shown before you submit. It rolls up brokerage, securities transaction tax, exchange transaction charges, GST, SEBI charges, and stamp duty into a single approximate figure that updates live as you change quantity or price. Brokers are required to display applicable charges on the order placement window under exchange guidelines, and Kite does so as a pre-trade preview so the cost of trading is visible before, not only after, the order.

How to enable

Kite mobile app	Order ticket > preferences > sticky window

The exact menu label varies across Kite builds. In the redesigned order ticket, look for a checkbox or toggle near the Submit button.
