Indian Platforms Facilitate US Stock Investments Amid Currency and Regulatory Considerations
Indian investors are increasingly accessing US stocks through platforms like Zerodha, which recently launched a beta service allowing investment in over 2,000 US companies and ETFs. Investing involves currency conversion from rupees to dollars, brokerage fees, and compliance with RBI's Liberalised Remittance Scheme. Platforms use different models, either partnering with US brokers or routing trades via India's GIFT City. Investors should understand the costs, custody arrangements, and regulatory requirements involved in cross-border stock investments.
