Buy Stocks on NSE & BSE with Zero Brokerage —Ashlar India

Equity trading means buying and selling shares of companies listed on a SEBI-regulated stock exchange (NSE or BSE). When you purchase a share, you acquire a fractional ownership interest in the company and may benefit from its growth through capital appreciation and dividend income.

You can begin investing with as little as ₹500 or less, depending on the price of the shares you choose to purchase. There is no minimum capital requirement to open a Demat account with Ashlar India.

Both NSE (National Stock Exchange of India) and BSE (Bombay Stock Exchange) are SEBI-regulated stock exchanges in India. NSE is associated with the Nifty 50 index; BSE is associated with the Sensex. Most large-cap companies are listed on both exchanges. With Ashlar India, you can trade on either exchange through a single account.

Under current applicable rules: short-term capital gains (equity sold within 12 months of purchase) are taxed at 20%; long-term capital gains (equity sold after 12 months) are exempt up to ₹1.25 lakh per financial year and taxed at 12.5% on gains above that threshold; dividend income is taxed at your applicable income tax slab rate. Tax provisions are subject to revision by the government. Always consult a Chartered Accountant for the most current guidance and your specific tax situation.

Equity investing involves market risk — the value of your investment can go up or down. Long-term investment in well-researched, fundamentally sound companies has historically been a way for investors to build wealth over time, though returns are not guaranteed. Beginners should invest only what they can afford to keep invested for a sufficient horizon and should avoid making investment decisions based on unverified information or short-term market movements.

Zero brokerage means no commission is charged by the broker when you purchase equity shares and hold them (delivery trades). Ashlar India offers zero brokerage on equity delivery trades. Standard exchange transaction charges, STT, and other statutory levies mandated by the exchange and SEBI still apply.

A Demat account (Dematerialised Account) is a digital account that holds your securities in electronic form, as governed by the Depositories Act, 1996. It functions like a bank account — but for shares and other financial instruments instead of money. A Demat account is mandatory for holding securities in India.
