Costs and brokerage
Share India advertises competitive brokerage and low charges, and sometimes promotes promotional zero-account-opening fees. Always read the fee schedule carefully on their website or the account agreement during signup — brokerage plans can vary by segment (equity delivery vs intraday vs F&O). The platform’s pages list the common charges and special plans. (Share India Securities Ltd)
Security and customer support
The platform claims security measures such as TOTP, biometric login and secure encryption. They also offer a help/FAQ section and dedicated support channels for account issues. For web trading, the site recommends standard safety practices (never share login details, use strong passwords). (Share India Securities Ltd)
Pros and things to watch out for
Pros
-
Full-suite: trading, IPOs, commodities and research in one app. (App Store)
-
Paperless account opening — good for quick onboarding. (Share India Securities Ltd)
-
Tools for active traders (option calculator, order types, watchlists).
Things to watch
-
Read the fine print: brokerage, margin rules and hidden charges (like DP or transaction charges) matter — check the fee schedule before trading. (Share India Securities Ltd)
-
IPO allotments: applying does not guarantee allotment; always check allotment rules and timelines. (Share India Securities Ltd)
-
Be careful with outside links and offers: Fraudsters sometimes imitate apps or offer too-good-to-be-true IPO allocations via WhatsApp or third-party links. There have been news cases where users lost money after installing fake investment apps or following scam messages. Always download official apps from Play Store/App Store and confirm the publisher name. (The Times of India)
Is Share India trustworthy?
Share India presents itself as a registered stock-broking entity with an online presence, platform features and support documentation. The official app pages (Play Store and App Store) and the company website help confirm its legitimacy. However, trust also depends on user experiences: read recent reviews on the app stores and consumer complaint platforms before depositing large sums. If something looks suspicious (promises of guaranteed returns, requests to move funds outside normal banking channels), treat it as a red flag. (Google Play)
My simple advice for a beginner
-
Start small — Try the app with a small amount and practice basic trades first.
-
Use research tools — Learn to use watchlists, charts and the option calculator before placing large bets.
-
Keep records — Save order confirmations and statements.
-
Protect your login — Use strong passwords, enable biometric/TOTP if supported, and never share OTPs.
-
Verify official channels — Download only from official app stores or the company website; when in doubt, contact the broker’s official support. (Share India Securities Ltd)
Final thoughts
Share India: Demat, Stocks, IPO looks like a full-featured trading app with standard tools for both new and experienced traders. It offers paperless account opening, IPO access, research and multiple order types — all useful features if you plan to trade or invest in India’s markets. But always double-check fees, read recent user reviews, and be careful with outside WhatsApp or social media links that claim special IPO allotments. If you follow safe practices and start small, the app can be a convenient entry point to the market.
