D C Anjaria Committee on Review of SEBI Fee Structure for Stock Brokers

The fee structure for the brokers prescribed in the regulations was based on the recommendations made way back in 1992 by the R S Bhatt Committee. The recommendations of the Committee were based on the then level of brokerage earned by the brokers. Over the next decade, the market structure witnessed sea change, which coupled with fierce competition among brokers, has brought down the level of brokerage drastically.
