They are collected at the source by the exchange, which deducts them from the proceeds of each trade and remits them to the government. Brokers such as <a href="https://v2.webnotes.in/zerodha/">Zerodha</a> pass these amounts through to clients as mandatory deductions on the contract note; they are not charges that Zerodha sets or retains.</p>
