Dhan is a technology-led stock broking and investment platform in India, launched in 2021 by Raise Financial Services, that has rapidly positioned itself as a favorite for both “Super Traders” and long-term investors. What sets Dhan apart from traditional discount brokers is its deep integration with TradingView, allowing users to trade directly from live charts with sub-second execution speeds.
The platform offers a comprehensive ecosystem that includes the primary Dhan app, a dedicated Options Trader app for F&O enthusiasts, and a robust web interface. For active traders, Dhan provides advanced tools such as “Flash Trade” for quick options buying, “Scalper” for one-tap chart trading, and “Iceberg Plus” for slicing large orders to minimize market impact. It also features a unique “Trader’s Control” dashboard designed to help users manage risk by setting alerts for overtrading or reaching daily loss limits.
For long-term investors, the app provides a seamless experience for investing in Stocks, ETFs, Mutual Funds, and IPOs with zero brokerage on equity delivery trades. It facilitates wealth building through daily, weekly, or monthly SIPs in both stocks and ETFs.
One of its standout investor-friendly features is the “Dividend Tracking” dashboard, which allows users to monitor their passive income separately. From a cost perspective, Dhan is highly competitive, offering a “zero AMC for life” model and a flat ₹20 fee for intraday and F&O trades. Additionally, it promotes inclusivity by offering a 50% discount on brokerage for women traders.
Safety is a core pillar of the platform; it is SEBI-registered and uses high-grade encryption, two-factor authentication (2FA), and biometric logins to protect user data. While the platform is packed with data-rich features—which some beginners might find slightly overwhelming—it is widely praised for its clean UI and “MadeForTrade” philosophy.
As of 2026, Dhan continues to evolve by adding features like “Dhan WiFi,” which syncs the mobile and web experiences instantly, ensuring that a trader’s watchlists and positions are always updated across all devices. This combination of advanced analytics, lightning-fast execution, and a transparent fee structure makes Dhan a leading choice in the Indian fintech landscape.
