Hinglish mein padhein: Delivery trading kya hai?
In a delivery trade you buy shares and keep them in your demat account beyond the trading day, for as long as you like.
You need the full amount to buy. Shares are credited after T+1 settlement.
Gains are taxed as capital gains, short-term or long-term depending on how long you hold.
