These guides explain the costs and the maths behind Indian trading in plain English. Each one uses the rates in force in October 2026, including the higher STT on futures and options from 1 April 2026 and NSE’s revised transaction charges, and every worked example has been run through the TradeProfy calculators so the numbers on the page match what the tools show.
