What it does
Upstox is a digital brokerage for Indian retail investors and traders. A customer completes account opening and KYC, funds the account, searches a security or fund, places an order through the mobile or desktop interface, and receives settlement and holdings through the broker and depository workflow.
Its public product pages describe equities, mutual funds, IPOs, commodities, currencies and derivatives, but each segment has different risks and charges. Upstox advertises up to ₹20 for eligible orders and ₹0 for mutual funds and IPOs; account opening, AMC, brokerage, DP, exchange, GST and other charges must be checked in the current tariff sheet.
