Call and trade expenses are applicable when you place buy or/and sell orders by calling the Zerodha broker desk. If you didn’t square off your intraday positions, our risk management team your Square off status for unavailability of margins.

If in case, your position has been auto-squared off by our team, it is considered a trade, and you will charge Rs 50 + 18% GST per order even if you haven’t called Zerodha to place the trade.

However, you can try to open a broker account to avoid this fee. 

Other than this, no hidden charges are charged by Zerodha for using their platform to do trading.
