Pros and cons

Mirae Asset Securities

Pros

  • Account fee of INR 0 and a minimum deposit of INR 0, so nothing is charged to hold or open.
  • Flat INR 10 per stock trade and INR 10 per options contract, which makes costs easy to model.
  • Margin available at a rate of 8.99% with retail leverage of 4X.

Cons

  • The stock trade fee of INR 10 ranks 98 of 161, behind cheaper per-trade rivals.
  • Cash movement follows UPI free; net banking Rs7-11 + GST, so moving money in and out is not entirely cost free.
  • A margin rate of 8.99% on leverage of 4X magnifies losses as well as gains on borrowed positions.

Topstep

Pros

  • Entry is priced at $49 for a 2 step evaluation, with a profit split of 90%.
  • The brokerage account fee is $0 and the inactivity fee is $0, so an account left open does not slowly bleed money.
  • Payouts arrive Every 2 weeks, a steadier rhythm than a single monthly cycle.

Cons

  • The split of 90% leaves a share of profits with the firm, where Apex Trader Funding shares 100%.
  • Markets are futures only, against 80.6% of the brands here that cover stocks.
  • Topstep ranks 7 of 21 on challenge price, and Alpha Capital Group lists $27 for its own challenge.

Who each suits

Mirae Asset Securities

Who it suits

  • Beginners opening a first account, with a minimum deposit of INR 0.
  • Day traders working in options and futures, with a contract fee of INR 10.

Who should look elsewhere

  • eToro, which charges $0 per stock trade.
  • Vantage, which sets a minimum deposit of $5 where CFI asks for $0.

Topstep

Who it suits

  • Beginners testing futures prop trading, since beginners lists beginners and demo account and futures includes a demo account.
  • Traders who want low running costs on a funded account: an account fee of $0, an inactivity fee of $0 and 90% kept of profits.
  • Anyone weighing entry price against share, since Funding Pips runs challenge prices of $29 to $555, a different price point to Topstep's $49.

Who should look elsewhere

  • Traders who want the whole profit, since Apex Trader Funding shares 100% against the 90% kept here.
  • Anyone trading stocks, ETFs or crypto, because the market list is futures.
  • Budget-first buyers, since Alpha Capital Group lists $27 for its challenge.

Questions about each

Mirae Asset Securities

How much does it cost to trade stocks?+

A stock trade costs INR 10 and an options contract fee of INR 10 applies. The account fee is INR 0, so nothing is charged for holding the account open. The flat per-trade charge is simple to model, though it sits above commission-free rivals.

Is there a minimum deposit?+

The minimum deposit is listed as INR 0, so an account can be opened and funded in small steps. With an account fee of INR 0 there is no standing cost before you trade. Watch cash movement instead, where charges follow UPI free; net banking Rs7-11 + GST.

Topstep

How much does the Topstep challenge cost?+

The evaluation fee is $49, and the same figure is listed as the minimum deposit, so that is the outlay before any trading. For context, the median challenge price across the brands here is €56.56. A failed attempt means paying the fee again to try, so treat it as a cost of repeated attempts rather than a single ticket.

What profit do I keep and how quickly are payouts made?+

Once funded, you keep 90% of the profit, and payouts go out Every 2 weeks. The split is a percentage of profit rather than a flat fee, so a thin month does not eat into it. The cadence matters as much as the percentage for cash flow, since a good month reaches your account sooner with a frequent schedule.
