Why did Kotak Securities start charging for intraday from November 2024?

Kotak Securities officially communicated that exchanges moved from slab-based to flat-fee transaction charges, significantly reducing revenue per trade, while SEBI's F&O lot size increases (2–3x) further reduced order frequency and revenue. Together these made zero-brokerage intraday financially unsustainable. Starting November 4, 2024, intraday became ₹10/order or 0.05% (lower). Existing Trade Free Youth subscribers were grandfathered until their subscription period ended.
