Are DP charges applicable for Buy Today Sell Tomorrow (BTST) transactions at FYERS?

BTST trading lets you sell shares before they are fully settled in your demat account. If you're using this feature on FYERS, it’s helpful to know whether any charges apply—especially DP (Depository Participant) charges that are often overlooked.

What is BTST and why do DP charges apply?

In BTST (Buy Today Sell Tomorrow) trades, you purchase shares and sell them before they're credited to your demat account on the next trading day (T+1). At FYERS:

  • Shares are credited to your demat account on T+1
  • If sold before full settlement, they’re debited from your demat account
  • This debit action triggers a DP charge as per depository rules

DP Charges for BTST at FYERS

Here’s what you need to know:

  • ₹12.5 + 18% GST per stock (ISIN) per day
  • Charged once per ISIN per day, regardless of how many times you sell it that day
  • Applies only to sell-side BTST trades, not when you buy

You can view the full charges list here: FYERS Charges List

Example

If you buy 100 shares of a company on Monday and sell them on Tuesday, a single DP charge is applied. Even if you sell the shares in two or more transactions on Tuesday, you’re charged only once for that ISIN on that day.

What if...

ScenarioWill DP Charge Apply?
I sell BTST shares in multiple orders on the same dayYes, but only one charge per ISIN
I sell shares after they are fully settled (after T+2)No, since it's not a BTST trade
I do BTST in two different FYERS accountsYes, each account is charged separately per ISIN
I buy and sell shares on the same day (intraday)No, DP charges do not apply for intraday trades
