💡 Quick Answer
Navia charges ₹0 brokerage for life on equity delivery, intraday, F&O, commodities, ETFs and IPOs, with 0% commission on direct mutual funds. Account opening is free and there is no annual maintenance charge. What you do pay is a set of statutory charges, plus a small DP charge when you sell from demat.
What does Navia charge for brokerage?
Nothing, on trades you place yourself. Navia charges ₹0 brokerage for life on equity delivery, equity intraday, futures and options, commodities, ETFs and IPOs, and 0% commission on direct mutual funds. There are no subscription or platform fees either. Brokerage is often the charge people compare first, and at Navia it is simply removed from the equation.
Are account opening and AMC free?
Yes. Opening a demat and trading account with Navia is free, and there is no annual maintenance charge, or AMC, on your demat account, for life. Many zero brokerage accounts still recover cost through an opening fee or an AMC, so this is worth checking on any platform.
What statutory charges do you pay?
These are the charges no broker can waive, because they are set by the government, SEBI and the exchanges. On a trade you may pay Securities Transaction Tax (STT), exchange transaction charges levied by the NSE, BSE or MCX, GST at 18% on the fee based charges, a SEBI turnover fee of ₹10 per crore, and stamp duty on the buy side. They are identical at every broker, so they are not where platforms differ. For a full breakdown on derivatives, see how the charges on an F&O trade add up.
DP charges and other operational fees
A DP charge applies when you sell shares from your demat account. At Navia it is 0.03% of the transaction value, with a minimum of ₹30 and a maximum of ₹300 per transaction. A few other operational charges may apply depending on how you trade, such as clearing charges on derivatives and a call and trade fee if you place an order by phone. These are the charges a broker actually controls.

How to calculate your total trading cost?
Because brokerage is ₹0, the cost of a trade comes down to the statutory charges, which are set by the government and regulators and are the same at every broker. Navia’s pricing page lists every charge that applies, along with a savings calculator that estimates what you save in brokerage over a year based on how many orders you place a day. For a full breakdown of how these charges add up on a derivatives trade, see the charges on an F&O trade add up.
A note on cost and risk
Low charges help your net returns, but they do 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 choose a broker on cost, safety and service together, not on a single number.
