Can NRIs trading in F&O claim trading expenses like Internet, Electricity, Computer purchase, etc… (Bills from UK as living in UK).
Hello @vemulapalli1991,
The SEBI has prohibited NRIs from trading in F&O segment in India. Also, the expenses mentioned by you cannot be claimed as they are incurred in UK.
Hope this helps!
Hi Quicko
I think this is a half baked advice.
Yes, NRIs are allowed to invest in futures & options segment of the exchange out of Rupee funds held in India on non repatriation basis, subject to the limits prescribed by SEBI.
you mean indian residents cannot trade in foreign derivatives
Hey @Joe_Maxpayne,
No, Indian residents can trade in foreign derivates.
However, NRIs cannot trade in Indian derivatives. But as rightly mentioned by @Nsk_nsk, there is an exception where NRIs can invest in the futures & options segment of the exchange out of Rupee funds held in India on a non-repatriation basis.
I don’t know. How you are running a tax filing service and Zerodha was tied up with you?
You know basic thing that NRIs allowed to trade derivatives in India but you are advising in a open platform as NRIs are not allowed. What a great service by @Quicko
Hello @vemulapalli1991
To clarify, a Non-Resident Indian (NRI) is permitted to participate in trading Indian derivatives; however, such activity is allowed only through an NRO (Non-Resident Ordinary) account classified as Non-PIS. These transactions are strictly conducted on a non-repatriation basis, meaning the funds and profits involved cannot be transferred abroad. Furthermore, all such trades are subject to the position limits and regulatory guidelines as prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), ensuring compliance with market exposure norms and risk control measures.
Hope this helps!
