In India there are mainly two types of stock brokers: Full service brokers and discount brokers.

1. Full service broker

A full-service broker offers a broad range of services to his or her clients. The majority of full-service brokers have locations in major cities where customer care representatives may meet with customers personally. These brokers provide personalised help for investors with a range of diverse interests and degrees of competence through customised brokerage plans and services. Clients with sizable portfolios may even hire professional service managers to oversee their holdings.

2. Discount broker

The primary difference between discount and full-service brokers is the breadth of services they offer. Discount brokers execute customer buy and sell orders but do not provide any extra services.

This helps them maintain minimal operational expenses. These brokers mostly operate via internet platforms.
