What is e-materai and when does it apply on Pluang?
E-materai is a digital stamp duty used to authenticate transaction documents in accordance with Indonesian government regulations. On Pluang, an e-materai fee of Rp10,000 is charged when the total value of your executed (matched) stock transactions in a single calendar day exceeds Rp10,000,000 — the threshold is based on cumulative daily transaction value, not a single trade. This is not a Pluang charge; it's a nationwide regulatory requirement that applies identically to every licensed broker and investment platform in Indonesia.
How the e-materai threshold works:
- Calculated on cumulative matched transaction value for the day, combining all buys and sells — not per individual order
- Once your daily total crosses the threshold, the Rp10,000 fee applies to the relevant transaction(s)
- The fee resets daily — no balance carries forward
- Separate from and in addition to the standard trading fee (0.15% buy / 0.25% sell, all-in)
