Zero Brokerage Options Trading with Navia
Navia All in One App charges ₹0 brokerage per order on equity, currency, and commodity Futures & Options trades and includes an integrated options toolkit called Insta Options. The platform provides features such as strategy discovery, live open-interest analysis, one-tap position management, and basket order execution within a single app. This blog provides an overview of what ₹0 brokerage on F&O means on Navia and explains the available platform features for investors considering options trading.
What Does “Zero Brokerage” Actually Mean on Navia?
Navia charges ₹0 brokerage per order on eligible equity, currency, and commodity F&O trades. There is no percentage-based brokerage or per-lot brokerage charged by Navia on these eligible trades. Statutory charges such as STT, exchange transaction charges, SEBI turnover fees, GST, and stamp duty continue to apply, as prescribed under the applicable regulatory framework. In simple terms, while Navia does not levy brokerage on eligible F&O orders, statutory and regulatory charges applicable to the transaction continue to be payable, irrespective of the broker.
What Is Insta Options, and Why Does It Matter?
Insta Options is Navia’s in-app options suite, designed to bring multiple options trading features together within a single interface. It includes a strategy finder with visual payoff charts, live combined-premium and open-interest (OI) charts, one-tap reverse and square-off functionality, allowing users to manage eligible positions through the available features.
For beginners, open interest refers to the total number of outstanding futures or options contracts that have not yet been settled. Market participants often interpret rising open interest alongside rising prices as an indication of increasing market participation. Insta Options enables users to view these metrics within the platform to support their market analysis.

How Do Basket Orders Simplify Multi-Leg Strategies?
Many options strategies — a bull call spread, an iron condor, a straddle — require placing two, three, or four separate option orders (called “legs”) at the same time to work as intended. Navia’s basket orders let you build all legs of a strategy and fire them together in a single action, instead of placing each leg one at a time and risking a partial fill if the market moves between orders. Navia also supports iceberg orders, which automatically slice a large order into smaller ones to reduce market impact, and cover orders, which pair an entry with a compulsory stop-loss for intraday risk control.
Many options strategies—such as a bull call spread, an iron condor, or a straddle—require placing two, three, or four separate option orders (called “legs“) as part of a single strategy. Navia’s basket orders allow users to group all legs of a strategy and place them together in a single action instead of entering each order separately. Navia also supports iceberg orders, which split large orders into smaller ones based on order parameters, and cover orders, which combine an entry order with a compulsory stop-loss to help manage intraday risk.
What Makes Navia’s Order Execution Fast?
Navia’s lower-latency infrastructure is intended to support timely order routing. Actual execution speed and execution price may vary depending on market conditions, liquidity, exchange systems, and other factors.
Can You Trade Options on Mobile and Web at the Same Time?
Yes. Navia supports dual login, allowing users to remain signed in on both the mobile app and the web platform simultaneously without being logged out when accessing the other platform. This enables users to access and manage their accounts across both platforms without switching sessions.
What Risk Controls Are Built into Every Order?
Navia includes in-built margin and risk management on orders placed through the platform, which is particularly relevant for F&O trading, where leverage can amplify both gains and losses. The platform performs applicable margin and risk validations in accordance with its operational processes. However, traders remain responsible for their own risk management, including position sizing, stop-loss decisions, and understanding the potential risks associated with their trading strategies.
Which Derivatives Can You Trade From One Account?
Navia All in One App supports equity futures and options, currency futures and options, and commodity futures and options through a single trading account, with ₹0 brokerage per order on eligible F&O trades, subject to the applicable brokerage schedule. Users can access these segments through the same account without maintaining separate accounts for each eligible segment.

A Word on F&O Risk
Trading in Futures & Options (F&O) involves significant risk and may not be suitable for all investors. A SEBI study covering FY 2024–25 found that approximately 91% of individual traders in India’s equity derivatives segment incurred net losses, with aggregate net losses of around ₹1.06 lakh crore. SEBI also requires disclosure that a majority of individual F&O traders incur losses. The tools and features available on the Navia All in One App, including Insta Options, basket orders, and risk management features, are intended to assist with market analysis and order execution and should not be construed as investment advice, trading recommendations, or an assurance of profits or successful trading outcomes. Investors should participate in F&O trading only after understanding the associated risks and considering their financial circumstances and risk tolerance.
