Cancellation service #1 in India
Upstox is an Indian online brokerage and financial services platform that provides trading, demat, mutual funds, IPOs and educational products (UpLearn).
It offers web and mobile trading apps, order types such as GTT and sliced orders, and wallet/banking integration for fund transfers.
Key services include equity, intraday, futures, options, commodities, mutual funds and educational subscriptions.
Upstox also maintains a demat account and provides periodic fund settlement and account maintenance (AMC) policies.
When you cancel orders (GTT, SIP or slices) those specific instructions are removed and will no longer trigger or execute.
For subscription products, cancellation stops future access according to the product’s cancellation policy.
Closing your trading/demat account requires settlement of dues and transfer or redemption of holdings first.
After closure is processed, you lose trading access and linked services; account records are retained per statutory requirements.
The table below summarises commonly published Upstox charges. All charges are exclusive of GST and statutory levies.
Verify current fees in your account or on Upstox’s official help pages before transacting.
| Plan | Price | Period | Features |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic / Standard | ₹300 per year + 18% GST (₹354) | Annual | Account maintenance (AMC) from 2nd year onwards (first year free for new users) |
| Equity Delivery Brokerage | ₹20 per executed order or 2.5% (whichever is lower) | Per order | Flat rate or percentage-based brokerage for delivery trades |
| Equity Intraday / Futures / Commodity Brokerage | ₹20 per executed order or 0.05% (whichever is lower) | Per order | Applicable for intraday, futures, commodity trades |
| Equity Options Brokerage | ₹20 per executed order | Per order | Flat rate per options trade |
| Mutual Funds & IPOs | ₹0 | Per transaction | Zero brokerage on mutual funds and IPO transactions |
Consumers have the right to clear information on fees, cancellation policies and refund timelines before purchasing services.
Refunds are typically provided for failed payments or by discretion in exceptional cases; statutory cooling-off is not explicitly published by Upstox.
Public reviews include complaints about account restrictions, frozen funds after withdrawal requests, and unexpected maintenance charges.
Users have reported slow or unresponsive customer support in some cases, and issues during order execution causing financial loss.
Sources include user reviews on Trustpilot and community threads describing specific incidents.
Many users value Upstox for low-cost brokerage on certain products and an accessible mobile/web trading experience.
However, practical experiences vary; verify charges and maintain records when requesting cancellations or refunds.
Reference: Upstox reviews (Trustpilot)
Some users expect immediate refunds for every failed transaction; bank-side failures can take several business days for reversal.
Always confirm the failure origin (payment gateway vs bank) and check the stated timelines.
Attempting to modify already executed slices will fail; only pending slices can be modified or cancelled.
Similarly, SIPs close to the debit date (within 7 days) may be non-cancellable for that upcoming installment.
The table below provides a concise comparison of cancellation/refund traits for Upstox versus a typical broker experience.
Use it as a quick checklist when evaluating actions you plan to take.
| Action / Feature | Upstox | Typical broker (general) |
|---|---|---|
| Cancel GTT | Web/app: direct cancel; GTT valid for 365 days | Usually cancellable before trigger; validity varies |
| Cancel SIP | App: Portfolio → Active SIPs → Modify → Delete; cannot cancel within 7 days | Often cancellable but cutoff windows differ by platform |
| Close Demat account | Download form, clear dues, transfer holdings; 15 - 30 days; no closure fee | Similar process; timelines and fees vary by broker |
| Refunds for failed payments | Instant for gateway failures; bank reversals 24h - 7 working days | Similar bank-dependent reversals; gateway-dependent instant refunds |
| Subscription refunds (e.g., courses) | Generally non-refundable; exceptional cases at discretion | Policy varies widely; some brokers/providers offer pro-rated refunds |
