How to interpret the contract note?

A contract note is a legal document of all the transactions you have done through your broker. It includes all trades executed on a particular day. It includes all buy transactions, sell transactions, brokerage, and the breakup of all the other charges such as:

• The order number column shows the exchange order number.
• Order time shows the exact time when the order was placed.
• Trade number shows the trade number of the exchange.
• Trade time shows the exact time when the order was executed.
• Security/Contract Description column shows the script name for which the order is placed.
• Buy/Sell tell the transaction types.
• Gross Rate/Trade Price Per unit shows the rate at which trade is executed.
• Brokerage per unit shows the brokerage rate for one share.
• The Net Rate per unit shows the rate after deducting brokerage i.e., Gross rate - Brokerage per unit.
• Net total (Before Levies) shows the total amount due to the client or from the client after brokerage and taxes.

In the last page:

• Segment-wise breakup of brokerage and all the taxes and charges, such as STT, Turnover charges, GST, Stamp duty, and SEBI fees are mentioned.
• At the end of the table, the net amount receivable/ payable is mentioned.

• DP charges are not shown on the contract note. These charges can be seen on the fund's statement.
• The net amount receivables are shown as a credit (CR.), whereas the net amount payable is shown as a debit (DR.), DR. means that the money is due from the client, i.e., it will be deducted from the client’s trading account. This could be a purchase made or a loss incurred.
