In this page, I am providing side by side comparison of HDFC Securities Vs Kotak Securities.
HDFC Securities is a brokerage arm of HDFC bank and Kotak Securities is that of Kotak bank and hence both provide 3-in-1 demat account. It enables seamless transfer of funds within the accounts. Brokerage charges of these two broker are on higher side.
But still there are lot of differences between these two brokers.
