Quick Summary

Divyesh Jain is seeking advice on the best stock broker for long-term investment in the Indian stock market. He's considering HDFC Securities but is concerned about its high brokerage fees and wants to understand the total costs involved. Other users suggest exploring options like Zerodha (known for zero brokerage but with some reported technical issues), Angel Broking, Sharekhan, and Motilal Oswal, highlighting that shares are held securely in NSDL/CDSL demat accounts regardless of the broker.

17 October 2021 Dear Sir,

Which trading platform is suitable for a person who wants to invest in stock market shares in India for a long-term basis for about 5 years? Is HDFC Securities a good platform considering its high brokerage charges?

Also I am not aware what is the total amount we need to pay as brokerage including taxes.

Please help me in this matter.

Regards,
Divyesh Jain

17 October 2021 Zerodha is a good option as it has zero brokerage but is it safe to trade with Zerodha especially when your investment goal is for Long term. HDFC is a brand name which everyone trusts.
