US investing from India

Indian residents can remit up to $250,000/year under the RBI's Liberalised Remittance Scheme (LRS) to buy US stocks and ETFs.

The catch is cost stacking: TCS up to 20% above ₹10 lakh, forex spreads of 0.5–1.5%, 25% US dividend withholding, and Indian capital-gains tax. Brokerage itself is mostly $0 — the reviews below carry verified USD pricing so you can compare the full stack.

How US investing works

Routes, LRS and TCS step by step.

Open a US account from India

These two onboard Indian residents directly via LRS funding.

Invest via Indian apps

INR funding, no US paperwork — US stocks through domestic brokers and their global partners.

Routes verified against official pages Sep 2026. Groww discontinued US investing in Sep 2024 (GIFT City relaunch pending) — it is intentionally not listed here.

Beyond US-only: INDmoney also lists LSE-traded Global UCITS ETFs (MSCI World / ACWI / All-World plus themes) — one-ticket worldwide equity exposure. LRS, TCS and forex costs still apply, and the funds stay US-heavy, so check overlap first. INDmoney review: pros, cons & should-you-invest →

Priced for reference — Fidelity doesn't onboard non-residents, Webull needs a US tax ID.
