What is the difference between a discount broker and a full-service broker?

Discount brokers charge a flat fee (typically ₹20 per order) and operate entirely online without advisory, research, or relationship manager services. Full-service brokers like ICICI Direct and HDFC Securities charge percentage-based brokerage (0.29%–0.50%) but provide SEBI-registered research analyst reports, dedicated RMs, branch access, and PMS. Discount brokers are 60–70% cheaper but require self-directed investing. See Top 10 Full-Service Brokers →
