In this page, I am providing side by side comparison of Karvy Online Vs Trading Bells.
While Karvy online is a full service broker, Trading Bells comes under Discount Broker category. Hence Karvy offer multiple services and the brokerage is also high. Trading Bells offers limited services but charges flat brokerage charges.
There are lot of difference 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.
