For equity the brokerage is very high. Maintaince charges are also very high. For mutual fund they majorly sell regular plan not direct plan and push plans from where they get higher commission i feel have invested in couple of the mand they didnt even gave 5%return in 3 years. They have a very good customer handling team and provided assistance on phone is I feel best. The appand technology is very good.
