What's your view on Kotak Securities?

Kotak Securities
Intraday - 0.03% (Both Side)
Delivery - 0.3% (Both Side)
Futures - 0.05% of Turnover (Both Side)
Options - 1.5% of Premium or Rs. 100 which ever is higher. (Both Side)

My daily turnover is around - 2.5 to 3 Lacs (Both Side)

Big disadvantage of Kotak Securities is that you can't sell the stock on the next day other that 'A' group shares and when the market is going down sharply, it makes big difference.
