WazirX does not deduct trading fees upfront. The fee is deducted after the trade is executed.
If you use your entire balance to place a trade, and the remaining balance is less than the trading fee, your wallet may temporarily show a negative balance equal to the fee amount.
Example
You have ₹10,000
You use the full ₹10,000 to buy BTC
After the trade executes, the trading fee is deducted from INR
Since no INR balance remains, the fee amount shows as negative
How Is It Settled?
The negative balance will automatically adjust against:
Your next sell order (INR market), or
Your next INR deposit
No additional action is required from your side.
Disclaimer – WazirX Zero
Under the WazirX Zero program (zero trading fees on eligible trades), this situation will not occur, as no trading fee is charged.
WazirX Zero can be more beneficial compared to the regular pay-per-trade model, since:
You receive the full trade value without post-trade fee deductions
There is no possibility of a negative balance due to trading fees
It reduces overall trading costs on eligible pairs
