Ventura also doesn't offer GTC, AMO and BTST orders which make it difficult for NRIs to place orders in off-market hours.

Trustline Securities is a good choice for both casual and frequent traders. The full-service broker offers depository services and research tips for NRIs. It also allows US and Canada based NRIs after filling FATCA and FEMA declaration form. The brokerage charges are quite low as compared to other full-service brokers in India. The broker also offers good web and mobile trading platforms in addition to a dedicated mobile app for mutual fund investments. Call n Trade facility and IPO application services are other features that make Trustline a good choice as an NRI stockbroker. The only major disadvantage with the broker is that it only allows Axis Bank accounts to be linked with its trading account. So, if you have Axis NRI bank accounts then its an excellent choice else you have to transfer your bank accounts to trade with Trustline.
