What it does
Kotak Neo combines Indian brokerage accounts with stock screens, charts, price alerts and options analysis. Its Payoff Analyser examines changes in price, time and volatility. Brokerage plans differ by age eligibility, delivery rates and whether a monthly subscription is included.
Compare scenarios before comparing plans
Use Screeners for stock discovery and Price Alerts to follow a chosen level. Payoff Analyser explores an options position under changing price, time and volatility assumptions. A projected payoff is a scenario, not an expected return.
| Plan | Entry or recurring cost | Key distinction |
|---|---|---|
| Trade Free Youth | ₹99 account opening | For eligible customers under 30; delivery has a nominal 0.01 paisa charge per order |
| Trade Free | No plan or account-opening fee | Delivery brokerage is 0.20% after the introductory period |
| Trade Free Pro | ₹249 a month | Delivery brokerage is 0.10%, with different margin-funding terms |
The pricing comparison lists intraday brokerage as the lower of ₹10 or 0.05% per order and ₹10 for carried-forward futures and options, after introductory allowances. Taxes and depository charges remain separate. Youth excludes NRIs, non-individual and offline customers.
Open Demat Account uses mobile and email registration, followed by document upload and identity checks. Check the selected plan’s eligibility before applying.
