Getting started
What is contract note?
The bill your broker sends after a trade, listing every charge.
Explained in more detail
It shows the price, the quantity, and each individual cost: brokerage, STT, exchange fees, GST, stamp duty and SEBI charges. Reading one properly is the fastest way to understand what trading actually costs you.

Why this matters to you
You will meet this word in broker apps, company results and market news. Knowing what it means is not the goal on its own. The goal is being able to judge whether a number is good or bad for the investment you are actually holding.
