Dear Traders & Investors,

At Dhan - what features and capabilities we deliver largely come from our users, their feedback and suggestions.

Yes - there have been times where we have been a bit rigid on our stand about certain features. However, in many instances we have given up and built the same for our users - all because we are constantly striving to build for our users and provide them with capabilities to enhance their investing & trading experience. Today’s feature release is one such case.

One such feedback we heard often was: “Can I see my trade summary and charges during the day without waiting for the final contract note?” While our stand has been to wait for settlement from exchanges to happen, we gave in to build this for our users.

So here we are — introducing the Virtual Contract Note on Journal by Dhan.

What is a Virtual Contract Note?

The Virtual Contract Note is your post-trade summary screen available live in your Journal. It gives you a real-time view of all executed trades, with key details like scrip name, quantity, price, brokerage, and associated charges.

Instead of waiting till end-of-day to receive the final e-signed Contract Note over email, you can now monitor your trades and costs throughout the day as they happen.

This feature is designed to provide transparency and accuracy especially for active traders and investors who want to stay on top of their execution and charges.

What information is displayed in the Virtual Contract Note?

Your Virtual Contract Note displays:

  • All executed trades for the current day
  • Trade details: Stock/scrip name, quantity, price, and segment
  • Charges breakdown: Brokerage, taxes, exchange fees, SEBI charges, stamp duty, etc.

You can view this for every segment & exchange you’ve traded in: Equity, F&O or Commodity or be it NSE, BSE or MCX.

Is this the final Contract Note that I will receive?

Not quite. This is a live, post-trade view for quick verification.

  • The Virtual Contract Note displays approximate values. For exact trade prices, brokerage, and charges, please refer to the contract note.

We have tried our best to be as close as possible to the final contract note that you receive, we have observed it to be almost right in most cases - except for exchange / external obligations like auctions, and so on.

You’ll find the Virtual Contract Note in Journal > Virtual Contract Note

  • Live view of your executed trades and charges
  • Easier to review & verify costs during the day
  • More transparency in your daily trading activity
  • Reduces end-of-day surprises or confusion on fees
  • Available for all segments and order types

At Dhan, we don’t just build features. We build what our users want. With Virtual Contract Note, your trade insights are now clearer, faster, and always within reach.

Thank you,
Mahima Shah

@MahimaShah This is a cool feature, but it seems there are some issues, which are as follows
1: The STT is not updated on the sell orders.
2: I took a buy order, but sadly due to the default option, it went in as Intraday. I later changed it to Delivery from the Position’s Tab in web.dhan.co. When I look at Virtual Contract Note for this trade, it still shows Intraday and there is Brokerage charged on it.

Hi @t7support

You will be able to view the Virtual Contract Note only for the current day.

If you wish to refer to previous contract notes, you can:

  1. Download them from Journal > Statements & Reports > Contract Note or
  2. Check your registered email, where contract notes are sent after each trading day.

Hi @nitishbangera

As discussed, we’ll look into the first point you mentioned.

Regarding point 2 — we currently consider only the initial order type. Any conversion after order placement is not taken into account. That said, we truly value your feedback and will evaluate if this can be improved in future updates.

@MahimaShah Thank you for the update. Can you shed more light on the logic of taking just the initial order type? If there is an option to change order types while taking an order, the Virtual Contract Note should reflect it. Ultimately, the Virtual Contract Note will be converted to a Contract Note at the end of the day.

Seems taking the initial order type is everywhere, i.e. in the trades section of the Stock and Journal → Statement & Reports → Contract Note. It can be easily replicated as above. Please look into it as a priority.

Doesn’t work. Even directly from Dhan web under Statements & Reports > Contract Note it is not working. Please try and see at Dhan end.

Hi @t7support,

This is what I see on my end.

Select the date on top left and then option to download below that. Can you DM what you are seeing on your end.

Ya now working. Earlier when date was selected, nothing was being loaded on the page.

Also any option to download contract notes in bulk for a given date range ? Under Dhan web Statements & Reports > Contract Note, we can specify date range, but the contract note sent is not contract note :grimacing:

12

Not yet, but we have received this request in the past. We will review when and how we can execute this.

Ok please do.
