About DalalScope
DalalScope answers one question for Indian traders: what will this exact trade cost me at each broker? Pick any NSE stock and a quantity, and it works out every plan’s commission, taxes and fees, cheapest first.
Independent and free
DalalScope is not owned by, paid by or affiliated with any broker, exchange or regulator. There are no referral links, paid placements or ads, and brokers are ranked by cost alone.
DalalScope is an independent project run from Bengaluru. The code and every data file are public on GitHub, so anyone can check how a number was worked out.
Where the numbers come from
- Stock prices: NSE’s official end-of-day bhavcopy, refreshed after every trading day. Latest: 30 Oct 2026.
- Broker rates: each broker’s published charges page, re-checked every day. 25 plans from 24 brokers, last checked 30 Oct 2026.
- Taxes and exchange fees: current STT, stamp duty, exchange transaction charges, SEBI fees and GST. See every rate and formula.
- Broker news: checked every hour; each headline is summarised in plain language and links to the original report.
Corrections
Brokers change their rate cards often. If a rate here doesn’t match a broker’s official page, report it on GitHub. Corrections go live as soon as they are checked against the broker’s own page, and every rate change is listed on How we calculate.
Not investment advice
DalalScope compares published prices to help you understand costs. It does not recommend brokers, stocks or trades. Some plans are only for new accounts or need a paid subscription; check the broker’s terms before you open an account.
