In this page, I am providing side by side comparison of Edelweiss Vs SAS Online.
Edelweiss is full service broker and provides many services to its clients. Both of these brokers offer research and recommendation to their customers.
Whereas SAS Online belongs to Discount Broker category. Hence they offer limited services but charges flat brokerage charges.
There are lot of differences between these two brokers.
I have equated both these brokers based on Company overview, Account related charges, Brokerage Charges, Transaction charges, Exposure provided, other features, Investment services, Customer service , Research/recommendations and promotion offer on account opening if any.
However, if you already have account with any of these brokers, kindly share your experience with me and fellow readers through comments.
