Problem with selling! is my broker a thief?

Friends! I purchased some shares and sold them in the same day. But when I checking the account details, I saw they have added fees without Gov Cess to the sold amount. My question is should whole fees needed to be removed from my sold amount or only gov cess needed to be removed as they have done.

Each time you do a buy or sell, you are charged gvt tax + brokers fee.
But, if both the buy and sell happens on the same day, the BROKER FEE for one of these is removed.

That aside, don't you have a talking relationship with your broker? Ask the fellow what this is etc....Cultivating some form of relationship is a must. and beneficial step.

broker fee for one transaction will be waived off.

Thanks all! Now I know my broker is a thief. Once my adviser told me the same thing what all have said. I think account division is doing a secret program. They have only removed gov cess. Not other fees such as broker fees from sold stocks. They don't know who am I. I'm small in age but I'm not small in wisdom. I get immediate actions against this very soon.

Usually very trade real-time up dates will be as normal transactions and if its a day trade then your account will be adjusted in par with one way charges on the following day, just check the online accounts on the following day and verify, if its not updated as a day trade then you can make a complaint to CEO of the said broker firm re the miscalculations of the Accounts.

Brother what is your broker firm ?

S C Securities!

Cmon people, this guy is just trying to get the attention.. Those settlements are not manual , they are system generated. If such a colossal error is happened on the side of the broker they must have already rectified it ( bcoz this guy is saying the CESS is not deducted ) , i dont think even if a broker want to cheat, he will choose to not pay taxes to government.

I bought 500 shares of ACME.N0000@ 21=Rs.10620.08 and sold them at 22.20 in the same day. So, the sold price should be Rs.11100. But they showed it as Rs.10968.34 .
After calculation of all other things, the account balance equals to the current account balance. Then now What do you think? I am using online trading system. I asked my account balance from my adviser on Friday(we didn't have electricity on Friday as of a repair), it equaled to the current amount which is showed on their online trading system. If you want, I can send you a copy of account details page related to the mentioned stock above.

as far as I know , for the second trasaction , only the govenment cess will be charged . so you must get 11066.70 (11100-33.30).

We have no reason not to believe your story.
Lodge a written complaint ASAP.
Any system can be manipulated and many unsuspecting can be cheated!

Bro! you are correct. They showed only gov cess has been charged in the settlement letters. But they don't show the account balance. It says that they are trying to do an illegal thing.

Computer programmes are only capable of doing what they have been instructed to do.

If there is a deliberate attempt to swindle unsuspecting, the same instructions can be given by the programmers.

Such issues are to be reported promptly and if found guilty, their brokers licence should be revoked.

Talk to the Account section. But wait when did you Bought and sold ??? Friday ?

if Yes wait till Monday and see. they may have not updated the account statement yet...

If they have updated the statement and still it shows same figures ask them the reason and ask them explain the thing..

it wont be a issue buddy. Talk in a decent way and see how it goes.

Good luck.

brokers are culprits. Everyone Must check the Buy Sell figures daily basis...

Man, do not jump in to conclusions that fast. Your broker may not have any thing to do with that.
As some of other members have pointed out broker fee has to be applied only one transaction.
As for the system it is considered as two transaction and fee will be applied accordingly.
But later on it is automatically adjusted. You should give some time for the system to update.
I have had the same experience before. I believe this is the first time you have done day trading.

Hi all.....Brokers can't manipulate systems....some online systems are updated the following day or the same day.....All Broker companies who have online systems have to spend millions to give the service to their clients....some have only 1 system....some have two.......still some have 2 and in the process of introducing the third option as well....all you IT savvy guys know how costly to keep an online trading system going let alone 2 or 3 systems......remember for the broking company to keep the broker license with the SEC is not an easy task.....so they are not stupid to manipulate systems to earn money....and these online trading systems are not developed by in house people......CDAX, DirectFN, ATRAD they are independent software developing companies.....so if the broking company is robbing you they must do it with those guys as well....can that happen.....NO.

What has happen here is that you have done a Day Trade....the buy side on a day trade has a total cost of 1.12% and the sell side has a cost of .3% that's it....also note if you sold a stock in your portfolio and bought it the same day the cost works the other way around.....that's known as shorting your own stock.
