Our verdict
Angel One suits beginners and active traders in India who want a mobile app and a demo account, with no minimum deposit at INR 0. The account fee of INR 0 keeps holding costs low, while the stock trade fee of INR 20 makes frequent buying the expensive part.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Account upkeep is simple: the account fee is INR 0.
- You can start small, since the minimum deposit is INR 0.
- One account covers bonds, etfs and forex, so shares, funds, bonds and derivatives sit together.
- A demo account and a mobile app both appear in demo account and mobile app, so you can practise before you fund it.
Cons
- The stock trade fee of INR 20 is the weak spot: eToro lists $0 for the same trade.
- On stock trade fee it ranks position 99 of 161, so it sits well down that list.
- Each options contract adds INR 20, and that charge repeats on every contract you trade.
Who it suits
- New investors in India who want to open an account with no minimum deposit and try a demo account first.
- Traders who work mainly from a phone, since a mobile app is one of the listed features in demo account and mobile app.
- Buy and hold investors, because the account fee of INR 0 keeps the cost of holding steady.
Who should look elsewhere
- Frequent share traders, since eToro lists $0 on stock trades against INR 20 here.
- Anyone who wants a stated starting amount to plan around: Vantage lists $5 while Angel One lists INR 0.
Fees and costs
The minimum deposit is INR 0 and the account fee is INR 0, so opening and holding an account adds no charge. Trading is where money leaves: INR 20 per stock trade and INR 20 per options contract. The margin rate on the account is 0%. For anyone placing many trades, those per trade figures matter far more than the account fee.
How it compares on our data
Angel One's account fee ranks at position 1 across 138 brands compared, and its minimum deposit ranks at position 1 of 213. Stock trade fee sits further back at position 99 of 161, which is the cost measure to watch. Keeping the account and getting in are both near the front of the list; the price of each share traded is not.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a minimum deposit to open an account?+
The minimum deposit is listed as INR 0, so you can open an account and add money when you are ready. Across the 213 brands on our ranking, Angel One sits at position 1 on this measure, which puts it among the cheapest ways in.
What does it cost to keep the account open?+
The account fee is listed as INR 0, so there is no charge for holding the account open. That measure places Angel One at position 1 across 138 brands ranked, so upkeep is the strongest part of the cost picture. Your costs come from each deal instead.
How much is a share trade?+
A stock trade costs INR 20 on Angel One. That is the figure to watch, because it ranks at position 99 out of 161 brands. Buy often and it adds up; buy occasionally and it is easy to absorb. For comparison, eToro lists $0 for the same trade.
What does an options contract cost?+
Each options contract carries a fee of INR 20. Options sit inside the bonds, etfs and forex list, so they are available on the same account as shares and funds. If you trade options often, the per contract charge is the number to model first, because it repeats on every position.
What can I trade on this account?+
The markets list covers bonds, etfs and forex. That means one account can hold shares and ETFs alongside funds, bonds, forex, futures and options. Markets outside that list are not part of what this account covers, so a plan that leans on other asset classes would need a different broker.
Can I try the platform before putting money in?+
The listed features, demo account and mobile app, include a demo account and a mobile app. Practising on the demo account lets you learn the screens and order types before the account is funded, and the mobile app is the main place where trading happens, which suits anyone working from a phone.
How much of the money in retail accounts is lost?+
Across the brokers listed here, the share of retail accounts that lose money runs at 70.15%. That is a warning about trading generally, not about Angel One in particular. Low fees reduce what you hand over, not what markets do with your decisions.
