1. Low Brokerage Rates
Brokerage charge is sunk cost for investors. Full-Service brokers anyways charge a high brokerage of the order of 0.25% to 0.50% of the transaction value which means Rs.5 per Rs.1000 invested or Rs. 500 per 1 lac invested.
While discount brokers have created a space of their own by offering an avg. of Rs.20 per order, Bajaj Financial Securities Limited stands apart by offering still lower brokerage rates in discount broking.
BFSL gives brokerage as low as Rs. 5 per order through its subscription plan named , Bajaj Privilege Club. At Rs.9999 per annum.
This includes GST & there are no AMC charges. One level below this plan is the Professional subscription plan at Rs.2500 per annum. Where the brokerage reduces to Rs. 10 per order in all segments.
The final subscription plan is the Freedom Plan which is free of cost for one year. There is no AMC also. From the 2nd year onwards, charges are Rs. 431. Even with the free pack, a brokerage in Intraday & F&O is lower than most discount brokers at just Rs. 17 per order. Delivery orders have a brokerage of 0.1% which means Re.1 per Rs.1000 invested.
Now an options trader for example might take 5 trades in a day to take a new position or adjust existing ones. If there are 20 trading sessions in a month, total trades will be 100 & brokerage at Rs.20 will be Rs.2000 in a month. If the same pattern continues for 12 months, the total brokerage cost will be almost Rs.24,000.
Not taking note of the brokerage being charged might keep you unaware of the quantum of your investible money which gets leaked out through brokerage charges.
2. Margin Trade Financing at low-interest rates:
This allows investors/traders to boost their buying power by up to 3.5x. Traders with low initial capital can use this feature to take bigger positions on their desired stocks. MTF is available at 9.25%: one of the lowest interest rates in the industry. This means that an investor can take 1 lakh MTF and pay just Rs.25 per day as interest. Add to that just Rs. 5 per order brokerage and it turns out to be a great deal! Sunk cost is minimized to the lowest level so that the maximum part of your capital is utilized in investment.
You can also view MTF as a feature that gives you the power to buy now & pay later. This means that you can pay the margin amount to take a position under MTF in the delivery trade when the price was attractive. After 20 days, for example, you get fresh capital- you can utilize that to change the MTF order to regular delivery order by paying the balance amount post margin. The broker will take interest in the number of days the position is carried out.
