I have both ICICI (NRI) and zerodha. 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. Keep documentation ready.

Yes India markets are reaching new highs. Esp PSUs.

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.

Thanks bro. 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

I am not sure on stock sold. I just checked. I see GST, STT, and small other charges. 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.

I think NRIs are not allowed to buy MFs. I mean if you have a NRI DMAT.

other options to invest. 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.

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!

Thanks bro. 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.
