What is the minimum amount required to begin trading?

The amount needed to start trading varies based on your chosen strategy and the price of the stocks you wish to invest in. At the very least, you’ll need enough funds to purchase the stocks you’re interested in, along with covering brokerage fees, taxes, and other transaction charges. There’s no fixed minimum, but even a small amount like ₹500 or ₹1,000 can be enough to start, especially if you’re buying low-cost shares or using platforms that allow fractional investing or small trades.
