The Investor Protection Fund Trust (IPFT) is a safeguard mechanism by NSE to protect investors in case of a default by trading or clearing members. As an investor trading through FYERS, it’s important to be aware that IPFT charges apply to all NSE trades—whether you're buying or selling.
What is the IPFT charge?
The IPFT charge is a small regulatory fee calculated on your trade turnover. It helps maintain a financial safety net for investors and is applicable across various NSE segments.
IPFT Charges on NSE Segments
| NSE Segment | IPFT Charges |
|---|
| Equity Intraday | ₹10 per crore |
| Equity Delivery | ₹10 per crore |
| Equity Futures | ₹10 per crore |
| Equity Options | ₹50 per crore |
Example
Let’s say you:
- Buy 100 shares of Reliance at ₹2000
- Sell them at ₹2100
Your turnover is ₹2,00,000 (buy) + ₹2,10,000 (sell) = ₹4,10,000.
The IPFT charge would be: ₹4,10,000 × ₹10 / ₹1,00,00,000 = ₹0.41
What if...
| Scenario | Will IPFT Charges Apply? |
|---|
| I place only a buy order | Yes, IPFT applies to buy-side turnover |
| I trade in options | Yes, at ₹50 per crore turnover |
| I only trade in BSE segments | No, IPFT charges apply only to NSE trades |
| My turnover is very low | Yes, but the charge will be proportionally tiny |
GST of 18% is applicable on the above IPFT charges.
