Achiievers Equities is a discount stock broker but it doesn't offer discounted brokerage rates to NRIs. It also doesn't offer Equity F&O trading, Mutual Fund, IPO and Bonds. There are many other brokers available with better pricing, tools and multiple investment options under the same account.

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, Axis Bank, and Yes 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.
