• Transfer charges of ₹25 per security, per transaction, plus 18% GST are applicable. For example, if you transfer 10 shares of HDFC, 5 shares of Reliance and 2 shares of Infosys in one transaction the charges would be ₹75 + 18% GST. If you transfer 10 shares of HDFC in two transactions, the charges would be ₹50 + 18% GST. Clients must maintain the required balance for the charges to be debited.
• To avoid rejection of share transfer, do not sell shares being transferred before the approval of the easiest transaction. In rare cases, the sale transaction may not be rejected and can go to auction. In these cases, auction charges are to be borne by the client. The share transfer will also be rejected if the balance in the trading account is negative.
