What kind of orders can I place? You can place both market and limit orders.

Limit Order is an order to buy or sell securities in which you specify the maximum price per unit in case of a Buy order and the minimum price per unit in case of a Sell order. The actual transaction can be at a price more favourable than the price specified.
Market Orders have different interpretations for both NSE and BSE.Market Orders in NSE : This is an order to buy or sell securities at the best price obtainable in the market at the time it is matched by the exchange. Therefore, chances of its getting executed are better. In case of market orders for NSE, all market orders placed which are not executed become limit orders at the last traded price. Where a market order is not executed fully, it becomes a limit order for the balance quantity at the last traded price. Market Orders in BSE : Explanation Market orders can be placed only during market hours (i.e. when the Exchange is open for trading)
