2. Price: It is the cost of each share. In this example, the price per share for the buy order is ₹250 and ₹330 for the sell order.
3. Order Type: This is the nature of the transaction; it could either be a buy transaction or a sell transaction.
4. Turnover: It is the total value of the transaction. It is calculated as:
   1. For Buy: 250 shares × ₹250 = ₹62,500
   2. For Sell: 250 shares × ₹330 = ₹82,500
5. Brokerage Rate: This is the rate of brokerage. As you can see, it is ₹0 for both transactions.
6. Brokerage Applicable: This is the total brokerage charge you have to pay on the basis of the brokerage rate. FYERS does not charge brokerage for delivery trades, so, in this example, it is ₹0 for both transactions.
7. Securities Transaction Tax (STT): It is a tax levied on every transaction in the market. It is calculated as:
   1. For Buy: 0.1% × ₹62,500 = ₹62.5

   2. For Sell: 18% × (₹0 + ₹2.48) =₹0.45
10. SEBI Charges: Regulatory charges levied by SEBI. It is calculated as ₹10 for every crore of turnover.

12. Total Tax and Charges: It is the sum of all applicable charges. 
    1. For Buy: ₹0 + ₹62.50 + ₹1.88 + ₹0.34 + ₹0.03 + ₹9.38 = ₹74.12 
    2. For Sell: ₹0 + ₹82.50 + ₹2.48 + ₹0.45 + ₹0.04 + ₹0.00 = ₹85.46
13. Net Debit/Credit: The final amount you pay or receive after taking the total charges into consideration. It is calculated as:

For Buy	₹62,500 + ₹74.12	₹62,574.12
