Trading Account Opening Fees and Charges

A demat account is necessary to hold your financial securities today. This account not only lets you hold your securities, but also lets you transact, i.e. buy or sell, these securities. For this purpose, you have to open a trading account. Trading accounts facilitate multiple objectives, from managing your expenses to keeping careful control of the transactions you make.

Earlier, there existed an open outcry system where traders had to be physically present and use hand signals to convey their trading decisions. With the digital age, this system has been replaced by trading accounts.

How does Online Trading Accounts Work?

Investors leverage trading accounts to carry out trades involving stocks, commodities and other securities. They can do this by enlisting the help of a professional broker or by creating a trading account online. Generally, brokerage firms charge investors a fee while opening a trading account.

Recently, there has been a global influx of new traders, which is why each trader is allotted a unique trading ID, that can easily help identify individual traders and keep track of their transactions.

Trading Account Opening Charges

Similar to other full-service brokerage firms, IIFL does not offer free trading accounts. However, it charges nominal fees for opening and maintaining a trading account. Here are the general charges to run a trading account with IIFL.
