Equity delivery

Equity delivery trading means buying shares to hold in demat or selling shares already held.

Delivery trades settle under India’s prevailing cash T+1 cycle.

STT treatment for delivery legs differs from intraday; exact rates follow the Finance Act for the year.

Delivery investors are exposed to overnight and multi-day price risk.

Corporate benefits accrue to holders based on settlement and record-date rules.
