If you don't have a demat account yet, the friction people usually cite - cost, paperwork, time - has mostly disappeared.
Angel One currently charges ₹0 for account opening, with zero AMC (annual maintenance charge) in year one. From year two, AMC runs approximately ₹60+GST per quarter (~₹240+GST/year) for standard accounts. Equity delivery brokerage is ₹20 or 0.1% (whichever is lower) per executed order, with a debit transaction charge of roughly ₹20 per ISIN per transaction.

That's the entire cost structure. Compare that to the cost of not investing - money sitting idle in a savings account earning 3-4% while inflation runs close to 5% is a guaranteed real loss every year you wait.
What actually takes 10 minutes
- PAN + Aadhaar-based e-KYC (no physical paperwork)
- Bank account linking for UPI-based fund transfers
- E-sign the account opening agreement
- Start your first SIP or place your first trade
No branch visit, no notarized documents, no multi-day wait for most applicants.
Who this is for
- You want to start a SIP but don't have an account to route it through
- You're comparing brokers and want a transparent, low-cost structure for equity delivery trades
- You already invest but want to consolidate to one platform for tracking
What to check before you open one
Compare brokerage on the trade types you'll actually use (delivery vs. intraday vs. F&O), and confirm current AMC and transaction charges directly - fee schedules are reviewed periodically. [NEEDS VERIFICATION]
