Here is a promise we intend to keep forever: trading on StockYatra is free — and it always will be. We will never charge you a coin to place a trade. Not on your first trade, not on your ten-thousandth. Buy, sell, close, re-open — as often as you like — and the cost to trade is always exactly zero.
Why “free to trade” actually matters
On a real stockbroker, every trade has a cost before the market even moves. Brokerage, DP charges, SEBON and exchange fees — a Rs 10–20 bite on each buy and each sell. Trade actively and those fees quietly eat your returns. And for a beginner it is worse than that: fees punish practice. Every time you experiment it costs money, so you experiment less — at exactly the moment you should be experimenting the most.
StockYatra removes that tax on learning completely. You can place a hundred trades in a day to test an idea, and it costs you nothing.
Real trading feel. Never real money.
StockYatra is built to feel like the real thing — the same order ticket, the same live candlestick charts, the same stop-loss and take-profit that fire automatically and push you a notification the instant they hit. What is different is the currency: you trade in coins (AC), not rupees. So you get the full pressure and thrill of a live market, and a losing trade costs you a lesson — never your savings.
You start with 10,000 free coins
Every new account gets 10,000 coins, free. There is no card, no KYC and nothing to pay. Those coins are yours to use across the whole app — not just to trade, but to learn:
The coin economy: earn more by getting better
Your 10,000 coins are a starting balance, not a ceiling. The better you trade and the more you learn, the more coins you gain — and there is no cap. Profitable trades grow your balance. Finishing courses and passing quizzes earns rewards. Climbing the leaderboard is its own kind of compounding. Learn how the market really moves and your coin balance can grow far beyond where you started.
Trade as much as you like — the counter stays at zero
There is no “per-trade” meter running against you here. Whether you place one trade this month or five hundred, the fee is the same: nothing. That is what lets you treat StockYatra as a genuine practice ground — repeat a setup twenty times until it clicks, without a fee for each attempt.
What if I want more coins? Top up — cheaply, and only if you want
If you ever want more coins than you have earned, you can top up — but this is completely optional, and deliberately tiny. The rate is simple: Rs 1 = 10 coins. So Rs 100 gives 1,000 coins, and the most you can ever add is Rs 1,000, which converts to 10,000 coins.
We cap it low on purpose. StockYatra is a place to learn, not a place to spend. A top-up simply refills your practice balance — it never becomes real money, never settles a trade for cash, and never leaves the app. If you never top up, you can still trade and learn forever on what you start with and earn.
Our promise, in one line
Give people the real feel of the market — the charts, the orders, the wins and the losses — and never ask them for real money to get it. No per-trade fees. 10,000 free coins to begin. More coins as you improve. That is what “always free to trade” means, and we are keeping it that way.
