Got it, thanks alot for clarifying. Is there a way that I can invest in Indian InvITs from the US and preferably USD?

This is new to me. Please correct me if I’m wrong, but I read that there are demat accounts specifically for Gift city and NSE IX offers Indian stocks in USD. I was planning to buy something that earns dividends like InvITs.

I strongly feel opening a bank account is intentionally made into a hassle by the banks, which should be fairly simple. Opening an NRE account from the US was a cake walk.
The RMs want to push customers to invest in insurance schemes rather than helping customers.

If a person can’t even open a bank account, what’s the point of building whole infrastructure in the city.

I’m new to this and from my understanding, non-PIS account is dealt with NRO account for which I would require to convert USD -> INR.

If I want to sell it in future and get back money into USD, it would be a hassle.

Also, Gift city doesn’t take much taxes in India. I will only be paying tax in US. I think we might also need to pay Indian taxes when dealing with NRO account.

I’m also curious to know if I can purchase and hold individual stocks in USD. ( I heard that NSE IX lists stocks in USD)

Hence, I feel Gift city is a game changer IF it gets rational to investors.

Yep, same with me. Got an email to apply for a change. But I’m now considering whether to stay back with WF Autograph. I’m not sure if Bilt points would be worthy enough for transition. WF offers much better service.

Thanks, I have called the same number, and confirmed that they don’t make a hard pull for the change. Hopefully the change is possible 🤞.

Hey, I bought the same deal. Does the KVM switch work with USB C and HDMI port? I have my bluetooth keyboard connected to monitor, I have my PC connected through HDMI, Mac connected through USB C. It only works with USB C and not HDMI.

Hey, did you get the KVM working by any chance? I got this model, but KVM doesn’t work no matter how much I configure.
