It offers IPO and mutual fund investment services to meet the varied investment needs of NRIs. A simple flat-fee brokerage model of ₹200 per order makes it an attractive proposition for high-volume NRI traders who would have paid a lot more brokerage with a traditional stock broker.

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.
