ONHello,
I was looking for overseas trading account to buy stocks in US specifically. I knew ICICI Direct had this facility but when I called them today, they mentioned they have stopped this couple of months back.
I’ve checked with HDFC and FundsIndia but they don’t have overseas trading. Does anyone know any bank/trader through which I can use for overseas trading. I heard Kotak Securities do but they mandate Rs. 5L deposit, which seems too high.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you,
Rupreet

That’s bad man….
Which is better e*trade or intractive broker for US market?
Use Duniyatrade.com
You can use …
1. Interactive Brokers (easiest account opening process – totally online – initial deposit 5,000$, very low brokerage charges 1$/trade)
https://www.interactivebrokers.co.in/en/index.php?f=individualAccounts&p=hybrid
https://www.interactivebrokers.co.in/en/index.php?f=commission&p=stocks2
2. Etrade (account opening through Hard Copy form to be sent to its Singapore office, min deposit 500$ only, brokerage 9.99$ per trade) , good if u want to start with low initial investment

Thanks for your response. I had shared my contact on the given email and had a telephonic conversation with support staff. They were to schedule a call back again from the concerned team but I get this email now. It seems Kotak Security doesn’t have overseas trading facilities? Pretty strange!

I sent an email to Kotak and did not get any response so I called their customer care and they told me no such facility is available.
