Brokerage and Fees
No fee is charged to users for investing in mutual funds. However, it is important to understand that Scripbox only offers 'regular mutual fund schemes' and not 'direct mutual fund schemes'. Regular mutual fund schemes charge a higher expense ratio - (expense ratio is a fee which is charged by all mutual funds schemes from mutual fund investors). Regular mutual fund schemes charge a higher expense ratio because they have built-in commission for mutual fund distributors/platforms selling regular mutual fund schemes like Scripbox.

Account Opening and Procedures
Scripbox
All in all, Scripbox is your personal fund management platform which helps you and your family to set and achieve their targeted financial needs and requirements. So, we may not be wrong in saying “ Scripbox is a platform which is like your “robo investment advisor”. However, the app is most of the time dysfunctional and is having worst customer support system.
