Question

If a client had used a commission-free broker to trade stock options, but the client is dependent in college, and the client LOST money; would the client have to pay a tax? 

Expert Solution
Step 1

Brokers like ZERODHA,UPSTOX,FYERS,PROSTOCK AND INDIABULLS offer brokerage free investment in the India stock market. The customer doesn't pay any commission while trading in the equity delivery segment.

Stock market gains or losses do not have an impact on your taxes as long as you own the shares. It's when you sell the stock that you realize capital gain or loss. The amount of gain or loss is equal to the net proceeds of the sale minus the cost basis.
