In this page, I am providing side by side comparison of Karvy Online Vs Prostocks .
Karvy Online is full service broker and provides many services to its clients. Both of these brokers offer research and recommendation to their customers.
Whereas Prostocks falls in Discount Broker category. Hence they offer limited services but charges flat brokerage charges. They claim to have lowest Stamp duty charges and no proprietary trading desk.
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.
