Zerodha Launches Beta US Stock Investing on Kite Platform for Indian Investors
Zerodha has introduced US stock investing in beta on its Kite platform, allowing Indian investors to buy shares and ETFs of up to 2,000 US-listed companies using their existing accounts without opening separate demat accounts. The service supports delivery-based investing, fractional ownership, and SIPs, but excludes intraday and margin trading. Orders execute during US market hours, with funds transferred to a dollar wallet via linked Indian bank accounts. Zerodha charges brokerage and currency conversion fees, and capital gains are taxable only in India under the DTAA with the US.
