Economic Times · 3m

Trading volumes have decreased by 30% across stock brokers, marking the first time Zerodha has experienced such degrowth since its inception 15 years ago, according to CEO Nithin Kamath. He noted that the industry is facing challenges due to market slowdown and the 'True to Label' circular issued by Sebi, impacting brokers' revenues. Kamath warned that persistent declines in trading could significantly reduce the government's revenue from the securities transaction tax (STT).
