Zerodha and US stocks

General

We will inform once we launched.

Don’t think it is possible as there is no concept of demat.

Hi @siva

Not sure what kind of issues the Zerodha team is facing regarding providing Direct US stock investment, but check out https://www.aeldra.com/ and see if, what they are doing, solves your problem.

There are some regulatory issues around this and hence the project is on a backburner

I understand. But at the same time, how are other brokers able to provide this ?

The regulations apply for all brokers, but how do they do this ? Does it mean that they are breaking these regulations ? @nithin

And also the circular talks about digital gold and unregulated assets that includes crypto.
US stock investments are legal and SEBI order does not include that.

And, my main question is - there are brokers who provide digital gold, does it mean that they are doing illegal things/breaking regulations ?

I’m confused as there is no mention of US stocks anywhere. Need more clarification.

What’s others opinion on this ?

All brokers had to stop digital gold. Even the RIAs.

This is regulatory grey. Unregulated technically could mean anything that is not regulated by SEBI, which could be what happens outside India like in international investing platforms, very similar to digital gold.

Being the largest retail broker in India, the repercussions for us to do something which is regulatory grey is much larger than for smaller players. We have asked for clarity from the regulator on this, whenever we have it, we will have a product.

So we wont able to purchase stock in our name. it will be DRs?

I was looking for solution to acquire stock directly in my name not in street name or DRs.

and this is under LRS limit so if I sold Stock can I reinvest that capital and capital gains?
