ICICIdirect Vs Stoxkart - NRI Account Advantages and Disadvantages

  ICICIdirect Stoxkart
Pros
  1. India's leading stockbroker. Part of the prestigious ICICI group, a financial services conglomerate.
  2. ICICI 3-in-1 NRI Account offers the easiest online trading experience.
  3. It offers an online trading facility with automatic fund transfer and PIS reporting.
  4. Invest online in Mutual Fund, NCD, FD, IPO, etc.
  5. GTC (or GTD, VTD) and AMO order types are available for placing orders in non-trading hours.
  6. It has a very stable trading platform.
  1. Good online trading platforms
  2. Charges fixed brokerage of ₹200 per order across segments
  3. Offers POs & Mutual Fund services to NRI customers.
  4. Tie-up with Axis, HDFC, Yes and IndusInd banks for PIS
  5. Services also available for US and Canada based NRIs. Many brokers don't offer services to US and Canada based NRIs due to extra compliance.
Cons
  1. While ICICI trading platform gets the job done, it is very old trading software with poor user experience in comparison to the next generation online brokers like Zerodha, upstox, and 5paisa.
  2. The equity delivery brokerage is higher in comparison to discount brokers like Zerodha. With ICICI, a buy order or Rs 1 lakhs will cost Rs 1250 (1.25%) in brokerage. The same order at Zerodha cost Rs 200 in brokerage.
  3. NRIs from the UK (United Kingdom) cannot invest in IPO and Mutual Fund through ICICIDirect.com
  4. ICICI Bank doesn't offer online account opening to NRIs apart from customers from the US. Online account opening is also not available to Minor NRIs from the US.
  1. Doesn't offer 3-in-1 accounts. Only offer trading and demat accounts. So, you have to first transfer funds from your PIS account to the Stoxkart trading account before trading.
Conclusion

ICICI is a highly recommended trading account for NRIs who are looking for investing in the stock market and mutual funds in India. It offers a convenient way to invest with competitive brokerage charges. It offers a range of investment options along with a dedicated RM, NRI support desk, free research, and tips. GTC and AMO order helps NRI customers to place an order in their own convenient timings.

Stoxkart comes across as a good choice for NRIs looking to invest in stock markets in India. The company offers good proprietary and 3rd party trading platforms and tools. 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.
