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.

SBI has one of the largest branch networks among Indian banks in the world. This helps NRIs in availing in-person services on their country or city of residence. The brokerage rates charged by the company are competitive among full-service brokers. The 3-in-1 account, online trading, free research and advisory, Mutual Fund, FD and IPO investment make them attractive to most NRIs.
