A contract note is a receipt for a trade. Whenever you make a trade, you will receive a contract note.

Each contract note documents the details of your transaction. For example: the number of shares you have bought or sold, the price, date of purchase, date of settlement, stamp duty (if applicable), consideration, commission and any FX rates etc. 

Contract notes are available within 24 hours of the trade being placed.
