The brokerage can also have a percentage-based model. Assume a client purchases 100 shares of a company each of ₹100 (100*100=10,000). The transaction cost would be 10,000. So, the sub-broker could charge 0.5% as its fee which would be ₹50 (10,000*0.5/100=50). The greater transaction they will make the more commission they will get.
The sub broker can also charge a limited amount irrespective of the percentage-based fees.
Sub brokers can also charge some fixed amount by asking for the percentage of profit too.
