What is the NIFTY lot size?
One NIFTY lot is 65 units in our Trade Planner (October 2026), so every 1-point move in the index is worth ₹65 per lot.
What one lot costs you in charges
Example: 1 lot of a NIFTY option bought at ₹120 and sold at ₹150 gives 30 points x 65 = ₹1,950 before costs. With ₹20 brokerage per order the round trip costs:
| Charge | Amount |
|---|---|
| Brokerage | ₹40.00 |
| STT | ₹14.62 |
| Exchange charges | ₹6.15 |
| SEBI fee | ₹0.02 |
| Stamp duty | ₹0.23 |
| GST | ₹8.31 |
| Total | ₹69.33 |
Futures are charged on the full contract value. At an example level of 25,000 one NIFTY futures lot is worth ₹16.25 lakh; a 20-point move is ₹1,300 and the round trip costs about ₹963.06, mostly STT on the sell side.
Your loss at a 20-point stop, by number of lots
Options bought at ₹120 and sold 20 points lower:
| Lots | Units | Loss before charges | Loss with charges |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 65 | ₹1,300 | ₹1,363 |
| 2 | 130 | ₹2,600 | ₹2,679 |
| 3 | 195 | ₹3,900 | ₹3,995 |
| 5 | 325 | ₹6,500 | ₹6,627 |
Lot size is set by NSE and is revised from time to time (often January and July). Check the NSE contract specifications before you trade; you can type a different lot size into the planner.
