Why does FYERS block an extra amount on real-time orders?
When placing an order on FYERS, you might notice that slightly more funds are blocked than the trade value itself. This is done to ensure complete cost transparency and prevent end-of-day surprises due to unaccounted charges.
What is this feature?
FYERS includes all applicable charges upfront when blocking funds for any real-time order. This preemptive deduction covers brokerage fees, exchange transaction charges, GST, SEBI turnover charges, and stamp duty. The detailed breakdown can be viewed under the “Price Breakup” section during order placement.
How it works
- Trade value: The amount required for buying/selling the stock or derivative
- Brokerage: As per FYERS' zero brokerage for equity delivery and applicable charges for other segments
- Exchange transaction charges: Levied by NSE, BSE, or MCX
- GST: 18% on brokerage + transaction charges
- SEBI charges: Nominal regulatory fee
- Stamp duty: Based on trade type and segment
All of these are accounted for at the time of order placement, not after the trade execution.
Where to check the details
You can verify the exact amount being blocked and its breakup:
- On the Order Window, click on Price Breakup before placing the order.
Always review the “Price Breakup” section to understand your total cost before confirming an order.
What if...
| Scenario | Outcome |
|---|---|
| I cancel the order before execution | The full blocked amount, including extra charges, is immediately released. |
| I modify the order | FYERS recalculates the required margin and blocks or unblocks funds accordingly. |
| Charges change mid-day | Only current exchange-mandated charges apply at the time of blocking; no retrospective changes. |
