Traders these days have a lot of options from which they can choose their brokers, however after opening an account you may be not be happy with your existing broker and might want to shift to another broker, in this case you would have to transfer your holdings from your existing DEMAT account to your New DEMAT account. In this article we will guide you on how can you transfer your existing holding from one DEMAT account to another DEMAT account.
Before going through the process it is imperative that you should understand the type of transfers within two DEMAT account.In India we have two depositories CDSL (Center Depository Services Ltd) and NSDL (National Securities Depository Ltd)
Your broker might be a participant with either of the depositories, the depository they are attached to will decide the mode of the transfer of the shares
1) Intra depository transfer or Off Market Transfers or – Both your brokers are participants with the same depository
2) Inter Depository Transfers – If your current and new brokers are participants with different depositories
If you do not have a DEMAT and a Trading account Click here to open an DEMAT and a Trading account with SAMCO
How to open a Demat Account.
Lets assume you want to transfer shares from your Trading Account ‘A Securities’ to”SAMCO Securities. While opening the account with A Securities you would have received a DIS book that is Delivery Instruction Slip Book. This is booklet contains set of instruction slips which look similar to a cash deposit receipt

SAMCO DIS
Fill in the details in the above Delivery Instruction Slip

At the top of the slip you need to enter DP id and client of the current broker, At middle of the slip in the highlighted area there are two options for INTRA Depository Transfer and INTER Depository transfer . mention the Client Id and Target Client Id (Client ID of the DEMAT account you want to transfer the shares in)
Fill in details appropriately and submit the DIS to your current broker, make sure you collect an acknowledge of the same.
All in all here is  the process of transferring shares from your DEMAT account

  1. Fill up the DIS slip.
  2. Ensure all the fields are correct, especially the Target client ID.
  3. Submit the duly filled DIS to your Current Broker.
  4. Make sure you receive the acknowledgement from the current Broker

How many days will it take for the shares to transfer?

  •  The shares will be transferred on the next business day

Is there a cost for transferring the shares ?

  • Cost depends from broker to  broker, However it is very nominal/

Transfer of shares in case of closure of one DEMAT account

  • Incase you are shutting one of your DEMAT account and transferring shares from that account to another account, the Transferring of shares is “free of cost” .Your existing broker should not charge you anything for transfer in case of account closure.

What is the process of transferring shares from one person to another ?

  • In this case the process remains the same.

Important things to keep in mind before transferring shares between DEMAT accounts

  • Ensure that your existing client ID is Printed or Stamped on the DIS and not hand written
  • Ensure you have mentioned all the details correctly, Specially the Target Client ID
  • Once the Entries are made, Strike out the other columns to avoid misuse
  • If your DIS Booklet is stolen or ost, Inform your broker and ask him to stop those DIS
  • When you close the DEMAT account , you need to return the DIS

What is a Spread Order? https://www.samco.in/help-support/article/spread-orders/ https://www.samco.in/help-support/article/spread-orders/#respond Thu, 10 Sep 2020 09:11:47 +0000 https://dev.samco.in/knowledge-center/?post_type=ht_kb&p=4589 A Spread Order is a combo order used for rolling over future positions from one expiry to another in the stock markets.

A Spread Order is a combo order used for rolling over future positions from one expiry to another in the stock markets.
Suppose somebody has a buy open position in Nifty futures contract expiring on the last Thursday of the month. On or before the expiry date, if he wishes to carry forward his position to the next month he can do it manually by selling the current month’s contract and buying the next month’s Nifty Future.
However, there is always a probability that while doing the above execution manually there can be a difference in the execution price. For instance, if the current month Nifty futures is trading at 8050 & the next month’s futures contract is trading at 8100. So the price difference is Rs. 50. However, suppose a trader first sells current month nifty future at 8050 but while buying the next month’s contract the price moves up to 8110. So instead of a difference of Rs.50, the customer would have to incur a difference of Rs. 60 resulting in an execution loss of Rs. 10. The solution to the above problem is using the “Spread Order” while trading with SAMCO.
All one needs to do is put the price difference which a trader is willing to for the above transaction, say 50 in the above case. All he needs to do is put a “Buy Spread Order” with a buy price of Rs. 50 and if someone else in the market wishes to convert a reverse position (i.e. to buy the current month contract and sell the next month) he will put a “Sell Spread Order” at Rs. 50.
A Buy Spread order is used for rolling over a buy (long) position to the next month and the trade involves selling the current month’s contract and buying next month’s contract.
A Sell Spread order is used for rolling over a sell (short) position to the next month and the trade involves buying the current month’s contract and selling next month’s contract.
Also if you put 2 limit orders for buying and selling the margin required to enter the trades would be different for both the contracts. For Nifty, you would require approximately Rs. 97,000. However, with the spread order, the margin required would be around Rs. 12,450.
The process of entering a Spread Order is as follows:

  1. Change the first column to Spread on the add script bar, select the contract and hit enter to add the spread order as a script in your Market Watch
  2. Once the Spread is added to your market watch, you can put a buy order by hitting “+” or “F1” & sell order by hitting “-” or “F2”
  3. One can check the status of the Spread Order by clicking on “View Order/Trade Reports and then Spread Order Report

Start taking the benefits of the Spread Order today!
Happy Trading!

What is Delivery Trading?

In India, “Delivery Trading”  stands for taking or giving delivery of Shares in the DEMAT Account.
A Delivery trade happens when a trader buys or sell shares & does not square off the position on the same day. These transactions are settled as per the T+1 settlement cycles of the exchanges i.e. Shares bought/sold on Monday are sold on Tuesday and so on and so forth.
Note: In India, positional short selling is not allowed in the Cash Market. Hence in order to sell shares, a trader/investor has to own them first.

What is Delivery Brokerage?

Equity Delivery Brokerage also known as delivery brokerage is the brokerage payable on a delivery trade which will be settled as per the exchanges T+1 settlement cycles.
What is the difference between Delivery brokerage vs Intraday brokerage?
Brokers usually charge delivery brokerage and intraday brokerage at differential rates with intraday brokerage being cheaper than delivery brokerage.
There are 2 primary reasons why intraday brokerage is lower than delivery brokerage

  • The Brokers margin obligations remain tied up only for the day in case of intraday trades whereas in case of delivery trades, the same remain blocked for T+1.
  • The Risk involved in delivery transactions from T day till T+1 day is higher than the risk in case of intraday transactions where the broker’s exposure to risk remains only for a few hours at best.

Delivery Brokerage Calculator

Traditional brokers charge a higher Brokerage when Investors transact in the delivery trades with brokerage running as high as 0.6% or Rs.600 per Lakh.
However, as India’s leading Discount Broker – SAMCO charges the lowest delivery brokerage i.e. only Rs. 20 per order or 2.5%, whichever is lower.
You can compare and calculate intraday brokerage vs delivery brokerage on the SAMCO brokerage calculator.

Meaning of CTT or Commodity Transaction Tax

The CTT Tax or Commodities Transaction Tax is levied on Trades made on Commodities Exchanges akin to Securities Transaction Tax – STT on Equity Trades. It is a tax payable to the Central government by commodity traders and therefore classified as a regulatory charge.
Commodities Transaction Tax

Introduction of CTT or Commodity Transaction Tax

CTT has an interesting history. First proposed in 2008, the proposal met with vehement opposition from Commodity Exchanges. They argued that Commodity trading in India was at a nascent stage & introduction of CTT could adversely affect them. Hence the proposal was withdrawn.
CTT was proposed again the Budget in 2013, but only on Non-Agricultural Commodities such as Gold, Silver, Aluminium, Crude Oil among others. This time the Bill was passed & CTT was levied on Trades in Commodity Futures on & after 1 July 2013.

Watch this video to understand the Basics of Commodity Trading

CTT or Commodity Transaction Tax Calculations

CTT is also charged at Rs.10 per Lakh of & only on the Sell Side Turnover.
So for instance if the Buy Turnover is Rs. 1 Lakh and Sale turnover is Rs. 2 Lakhs, CTT applicable will be Rs. 20 i.e. 0.1% on Rs. 2,00,000 (i.e. Rs. 20)
You can calculate the CTT liability for commodity transactions on the Commodity Brokerage Calculator.
Important Note – CTT is applicable only on non-agricultural commodities. No CTT is applicable on commodity trading of agri commodities.

Impact of CTT on Trading volumes

With the introduction of CTT in commodity trading, trading volumes on the MCX and other commodity exchanges in India have seen a dip as high as 50% – 60%.
It has also driven away smaller segments of the volume contributors away from the segments since scalping, jobbing, etc have become an unviable and expensive proposition.
You can view the detailed charge list to or calculate all the costs such as Exchange Charges, CTT & SEBI Charges from the SAMCO Commodity Brokerage Calculator.

While all Traders & Investors transact on Stock Exchanges in India such as Bombay Stock Exchange, National Stock Exchange or on Commodity Exchanges such as Multi Commodity Exchange, they cannot do so directly.
What are Brokerage Charges
Let’s take an example: Mr.Ram is a new Investor. He wishes to buy shares of Reliance. He calls up the National Stock Exchange & requests them to buy shares. However they ask him to contact a SEBI Registered Broker to transact on. He is left confused & asks his experienced friend, Mr. Shyam about the same. Shyam explains that a Broker is someone who acts as an intermediary between Clients such as Ram & the Stock Exchange.
In order to transact on the stock exchanges, the Trader or Investor needs to open a Stock Brokerage Account.
For every Transaction that the trader or investor initiates, the broker charges a fee. This fee is called Brokerage. Brokerage forms one of the largest components of trading expenses in the stock markets. Other expenses for trading include STT, taxes and other transaction related fees.
You can calculate your brokerage for trading stocks, commodities and other derivatives in India on the Online Brokerage Calculator.
Brokerage charges are determined by each Broker as it suits them. In India, we have two types of Brokerage Services:

  • Full Service Brokerage: These are expensive for traders as they charge brokerage as a percentage of the Transaction size. They may offer advisory services. Their brokerage rates differ for the type of trading done i.e. Intraday or Positional & these charges can eat up a substantial chunk of Capital & profits of the Traders.
  • Flat Fee Brokers or Discount Brokers: Discount brokers are primarily online brokerages – a relatively new concept in India, these Brokers offer a value proposition for traders as they charge a low fixed fee per trade, regardless of trade size or style.

At SAMCO, we provide a flat Fee Brokerage of Rs.20 per Order regardless of the Trade size or segment. So whether you transact in the Cash Segment or Futures & Options, Intraday or Positional, you would pay Rs.20 per Order.
We are proud to say that we have helped our clients save Crores in Brokerage. Calculate your own savings on our SAMCO Brokerage Savings Calculator.

Definition of IPO

An Initial Public Offering (IPO) is the first time that the stock of a private company is offered to the public to purchase. IPO’s are often issued by smaller companies seeking more capital, but they can also be done by large private firms looking to be publically traded. IPO’s are also possibly done to monetize the investments of early private investors. The process of an IPO is generally known as “Going Public
In an IPO the issuing company takes the help of an Underwriting firm to determine the following:

  • What type of security to issue
  • The best offering price
  • The number of shares to be issued
  • The correct time to bring it to the market
