FAQs around Invest in US Stocks from India

Yes. Under the RBI’s Liberalised Remittance Scheme (LRS), Indian residents can remit up to USD 250,000 per financial year per PAN for investments abroad, including US stocks and ETFs. This is fully compliant with SEBI and RBI guidelines.

Your US investment account is maintained with ViewTrade International IFSC Private Limited (VTI-IFSC), ensuring compliance with the IFSCA Global Access Provider framework. This offers a simpler account setup and portfolio tracking experience compared to conventional overseas investment accounts.

You can start with as little as USD 1 through fractional shares. This allows Indian investors to buy a portion of high value stocks like Amazon or Tesla without needing thousands of US Dollars upfront.

  • Dividends: Taxed at 25% in the US, with credit available under the India-US Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA).
  • Capital Gains: Taxed in India as per your income tax slab. Short term gains are added to income, while long term gains (held >24 months) are taxed at 12.5% with indexation.

Yes. Indian investors can access popular US ETFs such as the S&P 500, Nasdaq 100, and sector specific funds. These provide diversified exposure to the US market in a single investment.

Funds are transferred via LRS remittance from your Indian bank account to your US brokerage account. Our global access partner ViewTrade International IFSC Private Limited (VTI-IFSC) provides a seamless INR-to-USD transfer process integrated with your trading account.

  • Currency risk: Both appreciation and depreciation of the Rupee versus the US Dollar may impact returns.
  • Market volatility: US tech stocks can be highly volatile.
  • Regulatory changes: RBI or SEBI may update rules on overseas investments.

The timelines for buying power in USD to appear in your US stocks trading account can differ from bank to bank. Here is a quick guide:

  • Private Banks (HDFC, ICICI, Axis): Integrated online journey with T+0 (same day) timeline if deposited before 2:30 PM IST on a trading day.
  • Kotak Mahindra Bank: Semi-integrated with T+1 (next working day) timeline.
  • IDFC First, SBI, PSU Banks: Minimum T+2 timeline via Form A2 at a bank branch or with RM assistance.

The account opening process to start investing in US stocks and ETFs is fairly straightforward and involves no paperwork and no branch visits for retail customers. You can open your global access account seamlessly through a simple KYC process that requires your PAN and Aadhaar. The process also requires you to grab a Selfie or to successfully run a Video KYC, all of which can be done on your mobile device.

Once the account is opened, you can fund your account via LRS Remittance Transfer in INR from your Indian/domestic bank. These funds are converted to USD and show up as buying power in your GIFT City wallet.

With the USD buying power, you can choose from 10,000+ US stocks and ETFs; filter by sector, market cap, or theme; and get stock analysis by expert consensus alongside the price card.

Yes. Fractional investing allows you to buy a small portion of a share, making global giants accessible even with modest budgets.

Investing in stocks outside of the Indian market, for example, invest in US Stocks, may give you an edge over and beyond Indian investors who diversify domestically. For example, US AI infra leaders like NVIDIA and AMD have no Indian equivalent.

Not only that, through Mirae Asset Sharekhan’s GIFT City offering, you can get broad exposure through ETFs that use S&P 500, Nasdaq 100, and sectors/themes as the underlying.

You can sell your US stocks/ETFs and transfer the proceeds back to your Indian bank account. The funds are converted from USD to INR and credited under RBI guidelines.
