HDFC is a good choice for NRIs to trade and invest in stocks, mutual funds and other investment products in India. Barring NRIs from the USA and Canada, it offers a convenient way to invest online. HDFC is a full-service broker offering services like RM, NRI support desk, free research, and tips, etc., to help NRIs take informed trading decisions. It also offers loan against securities held in the demat accounts. The GTC and AMO order helps NRIs in placing orders as per their convenience.

Aditya Birla Capital is a well-known name when it comes to financial services. However, when it comes to trading & investment services for NRIs it doesn't measure up to its reputation. The company doesn't have a major USP for NRIs. It doesn't offer 3-in-1 accounts. The choices in trading platforms are limited. There are many better options available in the market.
