Knowing what a trade will cost before you place it is part of trading with a clear head. With Navia, the brokerage part is simple, it is zero. The charges that remain are set by the government and the exchanges, and they depend on what you trade. Here is the full picture.
💡 Quick Answer
Navia charges ₹0 brokerage for life on every segment — equity delivery, intraday, F&O, commodities, ETFs and IPOs — with 0% commission on direct mutual funds. What you pay are the statutory charges set by the government and regulators, which change by segment, plus a DP charge when you sell from demat.
Does Navia charge brokerage?
No, on trades you place yourself. Navia charges ₹0 brokerage for life on equity delivery, intraday, futures and options, commodities, ETFs and IPOs, and 0% commission on direct mutual funds. There is no account opening fee and no annual maintenance charge, for life. If you have seen a third party website quoting a percentage brokerage or an AMC for Navia, that information is out of date. Navia’s pricing, explained, and the pricing page carry the current and correct charges.
What charges apply when you trade on Navia?
Every trade has three layers of cost. The first is brokerage, which at Navia is ₹0. The second is statutory charges, which no broker can waive because they are set by the government, SEBI and the exchanges. These are Securities Transaction Tax (STT), exchange transaction charges levied by the NSE, BSE or MCX, GST at 18%, a SEBI turnover fee and stamp duty. The third is operational charges, mainly a DP charge when you sell shares from demat, plus clearing charges on derivatives and a call and trade fee for phone orders. Only the first and third layers differ between brokers.

What a Navia trade costs: an example
Take a ₹1,00,000 equity delivery trade, bought and later sold. The brokerage at Navia is ₹0. STT is about ₹100 on the buy and ₹100 on the sell, exchange charges and GST come to a few rupees, stamp duty is about ₹15 on the buy, and the DP charge on the sell works out to ₹30, the minimum under the 0.03% rate. So the trade costs roughly ₹250 in all, none of it brokerage. On an intraday or F&O trade the mix changes, with lower STT and no DP charge, but the principle holds: brokerage is ₹0 and the statutory charges are the real cost. The exact figure depends on live rates.
Where to find every charge that applies
Navia’s pricing page lists every charge that applies, segment by segment — the statutory charges set by the government and the exchanges, and Navia’s own operational charges. Because brokerage is ₹0, those are the only costs on your trade. Checking them before a large or frequent order means there are no surprises on your contract note.
A note on cost and risk
Knowing your charges helps you trade efficiently, but it does not change the risk of the market. Prices can fall as well as rise, so read the scheme and risk documents before you invest, and treat cost as one factor alongside safety and service.
Conclusion
Navia’s brokerage is ₹0, so the cost of a trade is really the statutory charges that every broker collects, plus a small DP charge when you sell from demat. Knowing these before you trade, and checking them on the pricing page, means you always know your true cost.
