What it does
Samco combines Indian brokerage accounts, US stock access, charting and research. Recommendations are grouped by market, security type and time horizon, while Stock SIP supports recurring purchases. Brokerage is charged per transaction; the Prime research service has a balance-based waiver or a monthly subscription.
The research menu separates Indian and US stocks, then distinguishes intraday ideas, shorter holding periods and long-term reports. A weekly stock idea should not be read as a long-term investment thesis. Charts, Stock SIP and Trade API serve separate monitoring, recurring-investment and integration needs.
Prime costs ₹999 a month plus GST, or its subscription is waived while maintaining ₹100,000 in combined cash and holdings. That balance remains invested or available for trading; it is not a fee.
Indian futures and options brokerage is ₹20 per executed order. US stock brokerage is 0.25% of the trade value or US$0.25, whichever is higher. Exchange, regulatory and other applicable charges are additional; US fund additions have a US$100 minimum.
Open Demat Account begins the application. Samco lists PAN, Aadhaar and bank proof for verification. Market and account-specific permissions still govern which products can be used.
