The difference between them is how much you pay up front and how much room you get before an account ends. Nothing is negotiated case by case.
| Programme | Fee | Target | Daily loss | Overall loss | Window | Share |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2-Step Evaluation | ₹2,700 | Phase 1: 8%, then 5% | 4% | 10% | 60 days | 80% |
| 1-Step Evaluation | ₹3,900 | 10% in a single phase | 4% | 8% | 45 days | 80% |
| Instant Funding | ₹4,100 | 5% before a payout | 3% | 6% | 30 days | 70% |
The widest overall loss limit of the three, and the cheapest fee. Most people starting out pick this.
One phase instead of two, in exchange for a tighter overall limit and a higher target.
No assessment phase at all. The strictest daily limit, the highest fee and a 70% share.
Index options on the three benchmarks Indian intraday participants already follow. Futures, overnight positions, copy execution and algorithmic execution are not permitted inside an assessment.
Assessments run in a simulated environment. Prices come from the live market, but orders are not routed to NSE or BSE and no position exists on an exchange. What is measured is whether you can work inside a fixed set of risk limits.
DhanFunded is not a broker, not an exchange member and not an investment adviser. No trading advice, tips or recommendations are provided. Participation involves the loss of the assessment fee if a rule is breached, and past performance does not indicate future results.
No. DhanFunded is not a broker, exchange or investment adviser and is not SEBI registered. Orders placed in an assessment do not reach NSE or BSE — the market data is real, the execution is simulated.
The 2-Step assessment is ₹2,700 on a ₹1 Lakh account. The 1-Step is ₹3,900 and Instant Funding is ₹4,100. Every fee is one-time and non-refundable, and there is no further charge when a funded account is issued.
₹1 Lakh to ₹50 Lakh, depending on the programme: the 2-Step goes up to ₹10 Lakh, the 1-Step to ₹25 Lakh and Instant Funding to ₹50 Lakh. The loss limits and profit target scale with the size you choose, so every rule has an exact rupee value you can check before you place a trade.
In Indian rupees to the bank account in your approved KYC. The share is 80% on the 1-Step and 2-Step programmes and 70% on Instant Funding, and a payout can be requested every 14 days once the account is 5% in profit over at least 5 trading days.
Breaching the daily loss limit or the overall loss limit for your programme. Both are published up front and measured against the starting balance, so you always know the exact rupee figure.
Every rule above is enforced by the platform, not by hand. Fees are one-time and the limits are the same for everyone.
