What is the difference between Delivery & Intraday..??

Here we try and explain the difference between intraday trading and delivery trading:

Difference 1 - the time frame

One of the biggest Differences Between Intra Day Trading And Delivery Trading is the

time span.

In intraday trading, as the name suggests investors will invest only for a few hours. What

this means is that they tend to square off their position after a few hours and definitely on

the same day.

Let us cite this with an example. Let us say that you bought shares of Punjab National

bank at 10.00 am and wish to square anytime during the day, it would be an intraday.

On the other hand in delivery based trading, you buy the stock to hold for a long period of

time.

Difference 2 - Dividends, rights, bonus shares

In intraday trading, since you never hold the shares, you do not get dividends, rights and

bonus shares, In fact, you do not get any corporate benefits.

On the other hand, those who take delivery of shares tend to get all of the above benefits

listed.

Difference 3 - Shares in the DP account

One of the other Differences between Intra Day Trading And Delivery Trading is that in the

case of intraday trading, you would never have shares in your DP account. In the case of

delivery trading, the shares would always be reflected in your DP account.

Difference 4 - Objectives are different

In both cases, the objectives are totally different from each other. In the case of intraday

trading, you wish to make quick money in a single day, while in the case of delivery based

trading, you want to hold the shares for a longer time frame.
