Zerodha Vs Trustline - NRI Account Advantages and Disadvantages

  Zerodha Trustline
Pros
  1. Discount stock broker offer trading at a low brokerage charges. Zerodha charges Rs 200 per trade (PIS Account) and Rs 100 per trade (Non-PIS account) whereas full-service stock brokers charge on an average 0.75% of the order value. So, if you trade for Rs 1 lakh, you pay Rs 750 with a full-service stock broker whereas Zerodha will charge you Rs 200.
  2. India's largest stock broker in terms of active customers.
  3. Offers access to best-in-industry trading software and tools.
  4. Supports HDFC Bank, IndusInd Bank, IDFC FIRST Bank and Axis Bank NRI Bank Account.
  • Offers web and mobile app-based NRI trading and investment platform.
  • Charges lower brokerage for investing in equity and equity derivatives.
  • Doesn't have a minimum brokerage charge which is good for small investors.
  • Offers research-based fundamental and technical analysis which helps in taking a better investment decision.
  • Allows US and Canada based NRIs to trade and invest in the stock market through Trustline trading forms.
  • Trustline works as a clearing and settlement member which reduces the overall cost for investors.
  • Facilitates IPO bidding for resident and non-resident Indian investors.
Cons
  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 Zerodha trading account before trading.
  2. Doesn't offer Mutual Funds to NRI customers.
  3. Doesn't provide research reports or analysis.
  • Doesn't offer a 3-in-1 account which means NRIs cannot open all the accounts at a single platform. It also means NRIs have to first transfer funds to PIS account before placing orders.
  • Doesn't offer Bracket Order facility.
  • Doesn't offer AMO (After Market Order) and GTC (Good' Till Cancelled) orders for investors.
  • Allows only Axis bank to open NRI bank account.
Conclusion

Zerodha comes across as a decent choice for NRIs looking to invest in stock markets in India and want to save on brokerage. The company offers best-in-the-industry trading platforms and tools. However, NRIs have to open bank accounts with HDFC Bank, IndusInd Bank, IDFC FIRST Bank and Axis Bank to open a Zerodha NRI account. It also doesn't offer mutual fund investment services to NRIs. It charges a low flat-fee brokerage which makes it an attractive choice for NRIs.

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.
