Zerodha May Charge Fees Due to Revenue Dip
Zerodha, a popular stock brokerage, might start charging fees for equity delivery trades.
The company's CEO, Nithin Kamath, says that recent changes in market regulations have hurt their income, causing a 40% drop in the June quarter of FY26.
These changes affect how people trade, particularly with options.
If regulators further restrict options trading, charging fees might become necessary for Zerodha to continue its business.
This would change the current free service, a situation mostly beyond Zerodha’s control.
Zerodha's brokerage revenue fell by 40% in the June quarter of FY26.
Nithin Kamath, Zerodha's CEO, indicated that they may have to start charging brokerage for equity delivery trades.
The revenue drop is linked to regulatory changes affecting options trading.
The future of weekly options is being assessed by regulators.
Kamath stated that most of this is not under Zerodha's control.
