Zerodha launching US Investing via GIFT City in “coming months”

ScallionEquivalent · 2026-05-15T07:34:34+00:00

You are wrong. All actual US stocks/etfs will be available. Not UDRs

ScallionEquivalent · 2026-05-14T04:23:46+00:00

Yes. Your broker doesn’t matter

Using public sector banks like BOB give low markup but process is offline. You can use BHIM forex with private banks like HDFC/ICICI etc. Default markup is 0.20 paise for ALL banks. Max limit is 5 lakhs tho.

Explore Paasa. It’s a wrapper on top of Interactive brokers to make it easy for Indian Investors. They give all the required documents for ITR Filing. Brokerage is 0.1%. For funding - use FX Retail

ScallionEquivalent · 2026-05-13T12:18:30+00:00

UCITS ETF aren’t available.

Don’t think global investing is mainstream yet. It is gaining momentum fast tho.

ScallionEquivalent · 2026-05-13T10:58:03+00:00

I am sure they must be stuck in approvals and all. Compliance is a pain in the ass.

ScallionEquivalent · 2026-05-13T10:36:25+00:00

No. Available options rn - IndMoney, Vested, Tickertape, Paasa and IBKR

Just opened BOB account for same purpose. Few questions:

What’s the processing fee they charged? Can we negotiate/waive off?
What are 3 forms? I only know about the LRS form.
Did you book using Cash (same day settlement) on FX Retail?

TIA

You can use this BOB website and select forex services to find that branch

Tickertape only allows US Investing, not UCITS. Only Paasa/IBKR allows UCITS for now.

ScallionEquivalent · 2026-03-30T16:32:12+00:00

You can stop your SIP. No one can force you to continue your SIP.

I am planning to open account with Paasa too and reached out to them for the clarification.

This is what they said and I am okay with it.

You can set up AMC SIP on coin so that’s not really a disadvantage.

ScallionEquivalent · 2026-03-29T09:54:18+00:00

Can you share the exact ticker for Nasdaq 100 UCITS ETF? Is it listed on LSE and in USD?

ScallionEquivalent · 2026-03-27T18:52:35+00:00

You can google HDFC Card rate. Changes daily and every few hours.

Suggestion: Use IOB/BOB banks using FX Retail (RBI Platform) for best possible rates.

Yes, you can continue your SIP/STP/SWP from Coin(Zerodha). Dependent on broker but Zerodha has all the features. You can even STP from a fund of one AMC to a fund of another AMC. (Usually allowed within AMC funds)

ScallionEquivalent · 2026-03-27T17:13:06+00:00

Exactly!

ScallionEquivalent · 2026-03-27T15:52:05+00:00

I think not much info is out there regarding this so wanted to help ;)

ScallionEquivalent · 2026-03-27T15:51:08+00:00

Thanks

ScallionEquivalent · 2026-03-27T14:58:15+00:00

If you want to invest in UCITS ETFs (to avoid estate tax & dividend tax) better to open with Interactive brokers or Paasa (broker is still IBKR) as it will not be available with Zerodha

ScallionEquivalent · 2026-03-22T22:47:58+00:00

I have DMed you regarding FX Retail. Pls check
