As of today 22<sup>nd <\/sup>March 2019, we are shifting from third-party clearing to self-clearing under Zerodha Broking Ltd (SEBI Reg No: INZ000031633) and Zerodha Commodities Pvt Ltd (SEBI Reg No: INZ000038238).<\/p>\n<p>With this, our current clearing charges of Rs. 20 \/ crore for futures and Rs. 200\/- crore on options premium become Zero. Similarly, all clearing charges for currency and commodity derivative segment become zero (from 29th March 2019). Active F&amp;O traders generating large amounts of turnover will immediately see substantial savings with zero clearing charges to pay. Clearing is essentially a backend process which includes determining the fund and securities obligation of a broker and then settling them with exchanges through its clearing corporation. For you, as a trader, there would be no difference other than the obvious cost-benefit of clearing charges becoming zero.<\/p>\n<p>Brokers who use third-party clearing charge between Rs. 200\/- crore to Rs. 2000\/- crore on option premium and between Rs. 20\/- crore to Rs. 200\/- crore on futures. For example, 10 trades of 10 lots of Nifty options bought and sold at Rs. 100 premium would generate a premium turnover of Rs 15lks, and the clearing charges could be anywhere between Rs. 30 (@Rs. 200\/- crore) to Rs. 300 (@Rs. 2000\/- crore). Similarly, 10 trades of 10 lots of Nifty futures bought and sold at Rs. 11000 would generate a turnover of Rs 1.65 crores and clearing charges between Rs 33 (@Rs. 20\/- crore) to Rs. 330 (@Rs. 200\/- crore).<\/p>\n<p>Our clearing charges were already among the lowest in the industry, and starting today, they are zero.

There are many more to come.
