Dhan Review

Dhan has one of the most intuitive interface. It offers zero brokerage for equity delivery trades (normal stock purchase). It charges a moderately low demat debit fee. It does not offer research reports or handholding for new investors. It is a good app for new investors as well as daily traders.
