Univest lists 0 brokerage on F&#038;O, though its help FAQ mentions a 30-day free window capped at Rs 500 and Rs 18 per order afterwards. STT on option premiums is 0.15% from 1 April 2026 on any app, so combine low brokerage with disciplined trading.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The best option trading app with low brokerage matters more to options traders than to almost anyone else, because every adjustment, stop-loss and exit is a separate order. A flat fee that looks small on one order looks large across a month.<\/p>\n<p>This guide works through the maths, explains the 2026 STT on option premiums and shows how to judge an options app on cost and tools together.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top:24px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/user\/log-in?utm_source=blogs&#038;utm_medium=best-option-trading-app-low-brokerage\"><strong>Click Here &#8211;
