₹0 lifetime (individuals/HUFs). AMC is a recurring fee to keep your demat account active; a BSDA (Basic Services Demat Account) can reduce it to ₹0 for small holdings. Confirm the current AMC on the broker's site.
Dhan is a SEBI-registered broker and exchange member. Your shares aren't held by the broker — they sit in your name with the depositories (CDSL/NSDL), so they're protected even if the broker has issues. Keep your login secure and verify holdings in your CDSL/NSDL statement.
