Delivery trading is a secure form trading in which a trader either buy or sell share but does not square off the position same day. Transactions like these are settled as per T+2 settlement cycle of the exchange.The shares which you bought will reflect in your demat account. It is most common type of share trading preferred by stock market investors and traders.Once you have taken the delivery of shares you can hold them as long as you want. Their is no limit for that.But for taking delivery sufficient fund must be present in account as no margin is provided here to buy shares.
Delivery brokerage also known as equity delivery brokerage is the brokerage which is charged on a delivery trade that has to be settled in T+2 settlement cycles. Usually brokers charge different brokerage for intraday and delivery trades where intraday brokerage is less than delivery brokerage. The reason behind it is that risk in delivery trade is high and margin obligations remain blocked for T+2 days.

  • There can no be short selling with delivery trading.You have to hold the share before you can sell them.
