Why your static IP charge was less than a full month
- Your static IP belongs to one account and is never paid for beyond that account's own expiry date.
- So when less than a month is left on the account, you pay only for those days, not a full month.
- We count a month as 30 days — the monthly price ÷ 30 × the days you get. With 12 days left, a ₹100 IP costs ₹40.
- Your billing history shows the number of days and the paid-until date, so you can always check what you paid for.
- Nothing is lost. Recharge the account and the IP is charged again for the new period, on the same IP.
- Your first charge follows the same rule. A Premium static IPv4 is the exception — it starts with a 2-month payment.
When this happens
- 1 Less than a full month was left on the trading account when its static IP renewed, so the IP was charged only for those days.
- 2 You took a new static IP when the account was close to expiry, so the first charge covered only the days up to that date.
- 3 The account and its static IP are not yet on the same date, so the IP was topped up only as far as the account's expiry.
What this means
A static IP belongs to one trading account, and it is never paid for beyond that account’s own expiry date. The account’s expiry is the ceiling.
So if the IP renews at a point when less than a full month is left on the account, you are not charged a full month. You are charged only for the days you actually get, and the IP is paid up to the account’s expiry date.
This is deliberate: you should never pay for static IP time that runs past the account it belongs to, because the IP cannot be used without an active account.
How the amount is worked out
We count one month as 30 days. A part-month charge is simply:
monthly price ÷ 30 × number of days
The amount is rounded to the nearest paisa. Every price stays inclusive of all taxes, exactly like a full month.
| Static IP | Monthly price | Price per day |
|---|---|---|
| Premium static IPv6 | ₹100 | ₹3.33 |
| Standard static IPv4 | ₹200 | ₹6.67 |
| Premium static IPv4 | ₹299 | ₹9.97 |
An example
Say your account expires in 12 days and it has a Premium static IPv6 at ₹100 per month.
- You are charged ₹40 — that is ₹100 ÷ 30 × 12.
- The IP is paid until your account’s expiry date.
- Your billing history shows a line like “Static IP (12 days) … valid till” with that date.
When you recharge the account, the static IP is charged again for the new period and carries on with the same IP — there is nothing to whitelist with your broker again.
When you see a part-month charge
You will usually see a normal full month. A part-month amount shows up when less than 30 days separate the date your IP is paid until and your account’s expiry date — most often because the account is close to expiry when the IP renews, or because you took a new IP close to that date.
Because the charge stops at your account’s expiry, the IP and the account end up on the same date. From then on you are back to the usual full month.
In normal use — recharging your account each month — the static IP is charged one full month at the full monthly price, and the billing line reads “Static IP (1 month)”.
Your first charge follows the same rule
Taking a new static IP works the same way as renewing one:
- When you take the IP, you are charged only for the days up to that account’s expiry date. So if the account is close to expiry, your very first charge is a part month.
- Your wallet still needs the full monthly price — ₹100 for a Premium static IPv6, ₹200 for a Standard static IPv4 — before you can take the IP, even when the amount actually charged is less than that.
- A Premium static IPv4 is the exception. It starts with a 2-month payment (₹598).
After that first charge, your static IP and your account are already on the same date. Your next recharge then buys a normal full month.
Checking what you paid for
Open the User menu in the top-right corner (click your name), click Account, and open the Billing tab. Each static IP charge shows the number of days or months it bought, the account it belongs to, and the date the IP is paid until.
If a charge still does not look right to you, contact support with the date and the amount, and the team will check it for you.
