How to choose a Robinhood alternative
- Check regulation first: broking apps must be SEBI-registered, MF platforms should be AMFI-registered distributors or RIAs, and lending apps must partner with an RBI-regulated lender.
- Direct mutual-fund plans save roughly 1% a year versus regular plans — a platform that offers only regular plans is costing you.
- Read the charges page, not the ad: brokerage, AMC, DP charges and platform fees add up.
