NRIs living in the United States can invest online in Indian Stock Exchanges. They can invest in equities, equity derivatives, mutual funds, bonds, and IPOs.

Note: Intraday trading in stocks, commodity and currency trading is not permitted for NRIs.

To invest in BSE and NSE, an NRI needs the following accounts:

1. NRI Bank Account (NRE/NRO PIS Account)
2. NRI Trading Account
3. NRI Demat Account

To invest in Equity F & O, an NRI needs to open a custodial account and get a CP code from a Clearing Member. The CP code is not required if the stock broker itself is an SCM (Self Clearing Member) to settle the trades made for the broker in equity derivatives.

US-based NRIs are required to comply with the FATCA compliance process to invest in Indian Stock Exchanges.
