Angel One is the elder statesman here — a full-service house founded in 1996 that reinvented itself as a flat-fee discount broker. That heritage shows: in-house research and the ARQ advisory engine, SmartAPI for algorithmic trading, and full segment coverage including commodities. Account opening is free and the first year's AMC is waived. The downsides are a ₹240 annual maintenance charge from year two, an app that can feel busy for newcomers, and persistent cross-selling. For investors who want research and advisory alongside ₹20 flat trading, it's a natural home.
