Zerodha is much better and much cheaper. For resident Indians charges are 0. For NRIs it’s .2%, still 4 times cheaper than ICICI. You can easily open it online in browser or phone in a few minutes.

Blindly buy HDFC bank in bulk which is at multi year lows and is ready to race up. Look at PayTM as well. It came down a lot from the initial IPO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s the tax implications for NRI’s ? Heard they will hold TDS for NRI accounts if we sell off any equity/MF, any idea on that? Thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But overall including brokerage is less than 1.5%. I did not see any TDS. I have an NRI account. But dividends are cut 30% TDS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the most prominent stocks like HDFCBank, ICICIBank, Reddy’s labs, etc are available here in US stock exchanges. You can also invest in ETFs based on Indian stock exchanges. INDA, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neethy Posted February 24 Report Share Posted February 24 I have HDFC and Zerodha. Its working well, quite simple. HDFC has hdfc securities but its not good, so I went for Zerodha. Zerodha is quite simple to open, operate. I would say this is hightime for you to think about investing in India market, if you can invest before parliament elections - you can expect a high growth post Modi 3rd term. MFs are not allowed for US/Canada NRIs (others its allowed). I invest in safe ETFs, like Nifty ETFs equivalent to S&P500. good luck! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I decided to open with my mother name (housewife - in India) and use it for investing in mutual funds and some quality stocks. Less burden with taxes as well.
