Angel One brings Indian securities, derivatives, mutual funds and financed share purchases into its app and trading services. Account route matters: resident, NRI and US securities access have different tariffs and conditions. Its current currency policy is addressed separately below.[1]
Accounts & headline costs
Sections ↑Broker essentials01
Angel One at a glance
| Measure | Value | Context |
|---|---|---|
| Domestic contracting entity | Angel One Limited; SEBI stock-broker registration INZ000161534. | Source 2 |
| Ordinary account opening | ₹0 opening charge and no mandatory minimum account balance. | Source 3 |
| Investment interfaces | Angel One app and web, SpeedPro and SmartAPI serve different investing and trading workflows. | Source 1 |
| Currency service | The current risk policy describes the currency segment as inactive. | Source 4 |
Account comparison02
Domestic account routes
| Customer | Opening requirements and boundary |
|---|---|
| Resident individual | PAN, identity/address and bank verification, with the required digital verification steps. A demat account holds securities; trading and derivative permissions require the appropriate account activation.Source 3 |
| Joint, corporate or minor | Separate account categories are available. A minor uses a guardian; individual signup details do not establish the documents or permitted products for every other category.Source 3 |
| Ordinary product range | Shares, ETFs, IPOs, mutual funds, bonds/NCDs, equity derivatives and commodities appear in the domestic range. NCD means non-convertible debenture, a debt security.Source 3 |
Account comparison03
NRI account structure and documents
| Item | Published route |
|---|---|
| Non-resident application | The NRI help page describes signed applications, PAN, passport/visa, overseas address and NRE/NRO bank evidence; OCI evidence applies where relevant. Overseas documents may need permitted attestation.Source 5 |
| Bank linkage | PIS is the Portfolio Investment Scheme route. NRE and NRO mean Non-Resident External and Non-Resident Ordinary bank accounts; bank approval and repatriation conditions depend on the chosen route.Source 5 |
| Contract scope | Dedicated terms cover NRI and eligible OCI customers through PIS or Non-PIS accounts. Residency, bank arrangement and activated segments determine permitted dealings.Source 6 |
The dedicated NRI terms and older NRI help tariffs differ. Obtain the route-specific agreement and low-priced-share threshold before relying on a cost estimate.[6][5]
Entities & regulation04
Global Access route
| Layer | Published arrangement |
|---|---|
| Angel One Limited | Its GIFT City branch discloses IFSCA broker-dealer CMI2026BDK1061 and Global Access Provider IFSCA/GAP/BD/2026-2027/016. A named current authority entry was not independently established; both remain company claims here.Source 32 |
| US account and custody | The terms identify DriveWealth LLC for US execution, clearing and custody, with separate account verification. Resident remittances must satisfy applicable FEMA/LRS rules; crypto and crypto-backed instruments are restricted.Source 32 |
Products & platforms
Sections ↑Platforms & products05
Platform and service roles
| Service | Published capability |
|---|---|
| SpeedPro | Downloadable desktop platform with market watches, charts, live quotes, news, portfolio views and Excel-linked market-watch features.Source 27 |
| Trade One | The broker’s fee FAQ says the trading interface itself is free; ordinary dealing charges continue.Source 7 |
| SmartAPI | The published guide describes free APIs for orders, positions, holdings, historical data and live feeds, with multiple language SDKs. Account permissions and dataset availability still govern access.Source 28 |
| API order authentication | Registered static IP is mandatory for SmartAPI order access from 1 April 2026. Credentials alone do not establish an approved trading origin.Source 29 |
| Mutual funds | Commission-free platform investing with lump-sum and systematic purchases, fund discovery and portfolio tracking. Check the actual scheme and plan; fund expenses and exit terms remain relevant.Source 30 |
| Broker research | Fundamental and technical reports may reach different conclusions. The disclosure allows broker/affiliate holdings and commercial relationships with covered companies; a report is not a verified performance record.Source 31 |
Fees & holding costs
Sections ↑Pricing & charges06
NRI pricing in the dedicated terms
| Route | Opening and ordinary maintenance | Equity delivery brokerage |
|---|---|---|
| Non-PIS | ₹500 opening; non-BSDA maintenance ₹125 quarterly. | 0.5% of transaction value; ₹0.05 per unit applies below a prescribed share-price threshold that the terms do not quantify.Source 6 |
| PIS | Opening nil; first-year maintenance free, then non-BSDA ₹60 quarterly. | Same 0.5%/low-priced-share basis; applicable statutory charges and GST are additional.Source 6 |
Pricing & charges07
Ordinary executed-order brokerage
| Segment or service | Charge before applicable taxes |
|---|---|
| Equity delivery or intraday | Lower of ₹20 and 0.1% per executed order, subject to ₹5 minimum. Buy and sell executions are separate charging events.Source 7 |
| Futures and options | ₹20 per executed order. Brokerage excludes exchange, statutory and other account charges.Source 7 |
| Phone orders | Call-and-trade help quotes ₹20 plus GST per executed phone order.Source 8 |
| Automatic exits | The help page quotes ₹20 per executed order; the general tariff says ordinary brokerage with no additional penalty. These published descriptions differ; the applicable exit/order confirmation determines the bill.Source 9Source 11 |
| Introductory brokerage offer | The site advertises up to ₹500 of brokerage waived during the first 30 days after onboarding; the allowance or time limit ends the offer.Source 1 |
Pricing & charges08
Principal transaction taxes and levies
| Charge | Published basis |
|---|---|
| STT | Securities transaction tax: delivery shares 0.1% on both sides; intraday shares 0.025% on sales; equity futures 0.05% on sales; equity options 0.15% of sale premium.Source 10 |
| NSE transaction charges | Equity 0.0030699%; futures 0.0018299%; options 0.0355299% of premium. IPFT adds 0.0000001%. BSE rates vary.Source 11 |
| Buy-side stamp duty | Delivery shares 0.015%; intraday 0.003%; futures 0.002%; options 0.003%.Source 11 |
| Regulatory fee and GST | SEBI ₹10 per crore; GST 18% on taxable charges. A crore is ₹10 million.Source 11 |
| Commodity tax | CTT: non-agricultural futures sales 0.01% of turnover; options sales 0.05% of premium.Source 11 |
Pricing & charges09
Demat maintenance and sale debits
| Item | Published treatment |
|---|---|
| Ordinary non-BSDA account | First year free; then ₹60 plus GST quarterly, charged after the first trade in the quarter.Source 12 |
| BSDA bands | Basic Services Demat Account: the help page quotes nil below ₹4 lakh of holdings and ₹100 plus GST annually in the ₹4–10 lakh band. Eligibility matters; NRI terms have their own schedule.Source 12 |
| Delivery-sale depository charge | ₹20 plus 18% GST per ISIN per transaction. An ISIN identifies a security. The fee total is the same for male and female first holders.Source 13 |
| Repeated sales of one stock | The DP FAQ charges two depository fees for two separate sale transactions in the same stock on one day. Quantity does not determine the fee; intraday trades do not debit demat holdings.Source 13 |
| DDPI authorisation | Optional Demat Debit and Pledge Instruction activation: ₹100 plus GST.Source 11 |
Pricing & charges10
Margin Trading Facility terms
| Component | Published MTF treatment |
|---|---|
| Buying power | Up to four times eligible equity-delivery exposure against cash or approved collateral. Actual margin depends on the security and broker approval.Source 14 |
| Interest | 0.041% daily on the borrowed amount, from the purchase day through the day before sale or conversion to fully paid delivery.Source 15 |
| Order fee discrepancy | The MTF page quotes lower of 0.1% and ₹20, with ₹2 minimum. The ordinary cash tariff uses ₹5 minimum; confirm the MTF floor in the applicable order schedule.Source 14Source 7 |
| Promotional interest | The product page advertises zero interest for the first 30 days on borrowing up to ₹1 lakh. Treat this as an eligibility-dependent introductory offer, not the ongoing borrowing rate.Source 14 |
| Holding period | No fixed maximum holding period is advertised, but margin and funding conditions remain in force.Source 15 |
Pricing & charges11
Pledges and shortfall charges
| Item | Charge or consequence |
|---|---|
| Pledge and release requests | ₹20 plus GST per ISIN per pledge or unpledge request. Separate requests can create separate fees even for the same security.Source 16 |
| Cash versus collateral | At least half the required margin must be cash or cash equivalents under the published tariff notice. Non-cash collateral does not eliminate the cash requirement.Source 17 |
| Cash-collateral shortfall | 0.0342% daily on the peak shortfall amount exceeding ₹50,000. The notice applies the charge to the excess, rather than the entire shortfall.Source 17 |
| General debit balance | Delayed-payment charges are 18% annually, calculated daily from T+2 and posted every 15 days. This is separate from MTF interest.Source 18 |
Pricing & charges12
Published US-stock charges
| Component | Current tariff |
|---|---|
| Account and funding | Broker opening, maintenance, deposit and withdrawal fees waived. Bank FX rates and correspondent charges still apply.Source 11 |
| Brokerage | 0.1% per trade, minimum USD 0.99 before GST.Source 11 |
| Published broker tariff | SEC 0.00206% of sales and IFSCA 0.005% per trade; nearest-cent rounding. Its printed FINRA US$0.000195/share, capped US$9.79, is not the current Q4 2026 member assessment.Source 11Source 37Source 38 |
FINRA paused its member-level Trading Activity Fee for transactions from 1 October through 31 December 2026. Angel One’s current pricing page still prints the usual share-based TAF, so that line should not be represented as the regulator’s current assessment. A customer charge or administration levy requires its own contractual basis and trade confirmation. Separately, the SEC Section 31 rate is US$20.60 per US$1 million of covered sales from 4 April 2026, equivalent to the page’s 0.00206%.[37][38][11]
Execution & trading rules
Sections ↑Protections & eligibility13
When positions may be closed
| Trigger | Published risk consequence |
|---|---|
| Derivative margin | The policy specifies auto-exit when utilisation exceeds 100% and the shortfall exceeds ₹1,000; the broker can change the threshold. Daily mark-to-market losses are payable by T+1.Source 4 |
| MTF margin call | Normal-call timetables differ within the policy. Volatility permits immediate margin demands; use the actual call rather than assuming a grace period.Source 4 |
| Outstanding liability | Clients remain liable for unpaid losses and charges after collateral is sold.Source 4 |
Platforms & products14
GTT and basket orders
| Control | Behaviour and limit |
|---|---|
| Good Till Triggered | Up to 50 pending GTT instructions, ordinarily valid for 365 days. Derivative instructions expire with their contract. They generate limit orders; a trigger does not guarantee a fill.Source 19 |
| GTT after triggering | The unfilled exchange order expires at day-end and the instruction must be recreated. Required cash, securities and sell authorisation must be available; corporate actions may cancel instructions.Source 19 |
| Basket size and fees | Up to 50 saved baskets and 20 securities per basket. No additional basket fee; each executed component retains its normal brokerage.Source 20 |
| Basket placement | The help page gives 09:15–15:15 IST for placement; baskets can be prepared separately. GTT orders are excluded. Check each leg’s execution status before treating a strategy as complete.Source 20 |
Trading & service hours15
Published closing controls — Indian Standard Time
| Window | Effect |
|---|---|
| Cash intraday exits | F&O-eligible shares: 15:10; other cash shares: 15:25. Broker exit attempts precede the applicable exchange close.Source 4 |
| Derivative session and exits | From 3 August 2026, the SmartAPI notice gives 09:15–15:40 for NSE/BSE F&O. Robo intraday exits start at 15:05; equity F&O exits at 15:20.Source 21 |
| Closing Auction Session | For eligible shares, API order entry is rejected during 15:15–15:20; market/limit entry opens at 15:20. Market changes/cancellations stop at 15:25, followed by random closure and matching.Source 21 |
| CAS order restrictions | Stop-loss and iceberg orders in eligible shares are blocked during 15:15–15:40. The instrument response identifies CAS eligibility, lot size and tick size; these vary by instrument.Source 21 |
At a glance16
Physical delivery is a separate obligation
| Position or event | Settlement consequence |
|---|---|
| Stock futures and in-the-money options | Long futures, long calls and short puts can require receipt of shares; short futures, short calls and long puts can require delivery. In-the-money means the option has intrinsic value.Source 22 |
| Required funding or holdings | The full contract cash or securities obligation can exceed the initial trading margin. Missing delivery can lead to an auction and additional costs.Source 22 |
| Index contracts | Index derivatives settle in cash rather than through the stock-delivery process.Source 22 |
| Commodity tender | The policy normally closes long positions on the first tender day; delivery is permitted only with the full contract value in the ledger. Confirm acceptance before relying on delivery.Source 4 |
Deposits, withdrawals & transfers
Sections ↑At a glance17
Adding funds and settlement availability
| Step | Published rule |
|---|---|
| Deposit methods | UPI and net banking require a registered bank account in the client’s own name. Third-party deposits and credit cards are not accepted.Source 23 |
| UPI and rejected payments | The help page quotes ₹1 lakh daily for UPI, subject to bank limits. An unregistered-bank payment may take three to four working days to refund.Source 23 |
| Withdrawable balance | Stock-sale proceeds and intraday/F&O profits normally become withdrawable on T+1 after settlement. Money available for trading is not necessarily available for payout.Source 24 |
Trading & service hours18
Regular payout cycle — Indian Standard Time
| Request submitted | Published approximate bank credit |
|---|---|
| Working day 00:00–07:00 | Around 11:30 that working day.Source 25 |
| Working day 07:00–17:30 | Around 23:30 that working day.Source 25 |
| After 17:30 or non-working day | Around 11:30 on the next working day. Weekends and settlement holidays affect the schedule.Source 25 |
| Receipt | These are estimates; approval, available balance and the receiving bank affect actual arrival.Source 25 |
At a glance19
Instant withdrawal conditions
| Item | Published position |
|---|---|
| Amount, time and fee | ₹1–₹150,000 per request, 09:00–15:00 on working weekdays; free, with multiple qualifying requests allowed.Source 26 |
| Account and order exclusions | Non-MTF clients only; no pending, executed or cancelled orders, and no open or closed positions under the stated eligibility checks.Source 26 |
| Settled money only | New deposits and stock-sale proceeds must satisfy the T+1 conditions. Requests failing the instant checks use the regular cycle.Source 26 |
Protection & regulation
Sections ↑Protections & eligibility20
Custody protection and dispute boundaries
| Layer | Coverage and limit |
|---|---|
| Standard SIPC protection | SIPC covers eligible missing cash and securities at a failing member broker up to USD 500,000, including USD 250,000 cash. It does not cover market losses; non-US customers are eligible on the same basis.Source 33 |
| DriveWealth excess insurance | The November 2025 notice describes separate excess insurance: up to USD 49 million securities and USD 1 million cash per account, USD 50 million total, with USD 150 million aggregate across all accounts. Policy conditions apply.Source 34 |
| Document inconsistency | Angel’s disclaimer labels the USD 50 million amount as SIPC. DriveWealth identifies it as excess insurance; it should not be presented as the statutory SIPC limit.Source 32Source 34 |
| US-service complaints | Use the Global Access complaint arrangements and applicable foreign-market remedies. The disclaimer excludes IFSC exchange investor protection for this global-access activity.Source 32 |
Protections & eligibility21
Domestic investor redress
| Layer | Scope |
|---|---|
| SEBI registration | The named equity-broker register identifies Angel One Limited and INZ000161534 with perpetual validity. Registration is distinct from permission to use every advertised segment.Source 2 |
| NSE default fund | Eligible admitted claims can receive up to ₹35 lakh per investor per defaulted/expelled member when assets are insufficient; the enhanced limit applies to declarations after 13 August 2024.Source 35 |
| Customer support | 18001020 and [email protected]. Published equity/MF hours: Monday–Saturday 08:30–17:30 IST; commodity support: weekdays 08:30–23:30, Saturday 08:30–17:30.Source 36 |
| Escalation | Escalate through customer care, its head, compliance and CEO escalation, preserving the case reference. The contact page links SEBI SCORES and relevant exchange/depository complaint channels.Source 36 |
