Paytm Demat Account Charges, AMC Brokerage 

Paytm offers free demat account opening with zero AMC charges. But there is a catch. 

Paytm charges a fee of Rs 30 per month as a monthly platform fee, which is Rs 360 per annum. The same amount other stockbrokers charge for the annual maintenance fee. For me, the zero AMC fee is like a bluff. 

In this blog post, I will provide information about all Paytm Money Demat charges that you may pay if you are a Paytm Demat holder.
