What Bonanza Online does

Bonanza Portfolio Limited is a privately held Indian financial services and broking house established in 1994, operating under multiple SEBI authorisations that span stock broking, depository participation (CDSL/NSDL), portfolio management services, Category I merchant banking, and research analyst activity, alongside AMFI mutual fund distribution. The company serves retail investors, high-net-worth individuals, corporate clients, and non-resident Indians across India through a hybrid delivery model combining a sub-broker and franchisee network of over 1,784 outlets spanning 560 cities with a direct branch and relationship-manager overlay, complemented by the proprietary MyEtrade online trading platform and the ODIN terminal for professional market access. Revenue is generated through a diversified multi-stream model: equity and derivatives brokerage on NSE and BSE, commodity brokerage on MCX and NCDEX, currency derivatives on NSE/BSE/MCX-SX, mutual fund trail commissions (with disclosed rates ranging up to 1.75% depending on category), discretionary and non-discretionary PMS fees, Category I merchant banking fees for IPOs and open offers, CDSL/NSDL depository and annual maintenance charges, fixed-income and bond distribution commissions, and IB-led corporate advisory mandates routed through subsidiary BCSPL. The group's structure of five operating companies — including MyEtrade (online trading), Bigul (digital payments and fund transfers), Bonanza Wealth Management (PMS and smart portfolios), Bonanza Commodity Brokers, and BCSPL (investment banking) — together with exchange memberships at NSE, BSE, MCX, MCX-SX, ICEX, and USE, positions the firm as a full-service, multi-license distribution-led broker rather than a pure discount or algo-first operator.
