Why US Stocks?

Benefits of Investing in US Markets

Why more and more Indian investors are adding US stocks to their portfolio.

🌍

Global Diversification

Reduce concentration risk by investing beyond India. US stocks let you participate in global companies across tech, healthcare, finance and consumer sectors not listed in India.

💵

USD Currency Hedge

Your US stock investments are in US Dollars. As the rupee historically depreciates over time, your returns in INR terms get an additional boost from currency appreciation.

🏆

World's Largest Market

NYSE and NASDAQ together are the world's largest stock markets by market cap. Companies like Apple, Microsoft and NVIDIA are trillion-dollar businesses not available on Indian exchanges.

🔢

Fractional Investing

Buy $1 worth of Apple or Amazon without needing to buy a full share (which may cost $200+). Fractional investing makes even expensive US stocks accessible with small capital.

📊

Index ETF Access

Invest in SPY (S&P 500), QQQ (NASDAQ 100) and other diversified US ETFs. A single ETF gives you exposure to America's top 500 companies instantly.

⏰

Extended Market Hours

US markets operate from 7:00 PM to 1:30 AM IST. Angel One offers pre-market and after-hours trading too. Invest while India sleeps — react to global news instantly.

LRS & Rules

How LRS Works for US Stock Investment

The Liberalised Remittance Scheme (LRS) governs how Indian residents can invest abroad. Here's what you need to know.

⚠️ TCS Note: Remittances above ₹7 lakh in a financial year attract TCS (Tax Collected at Source) at 20%. This is not an extra tax — it's deducted upfront and can be claimed back when filing your ITR. Keep records of all foreign remittances.

FAQ

US Stocks from India — Questions Answered

Everything you need to know before investing in the US market from India.

Can I buy US stocks from India?+
Yes. Indian residents can invest in US stocks through the Liberalised Remittance Scheme (LRS) up to $250,000 per financial year. Angel One offers US stock investing through its international platform. Open a free account through StoxGo to get started.
What is the minimum amount to invest in US stocks?+
With fractional investing on Angel One's international platform, you can start with as little as $1. This means you can own a fraction of expensive stocks like Apple (~$220) or Amazon (~$230) without buying a full share.
How does LRS work and what is TCS?+
LRS (Liberalised Remittance Scheme) allows Indian residents to remit up to $250,000 per year for permitted purposes including foreign investments. TCS (Tax Collected at Source) at 20% applies on remittances above ₹7 lakh per financial year — this is NOT an additional tax. It is deducted upfront by your bank and can be fully claimed back as credit when filing your income tax return (ITR).
Are US stock gains taxable in India?+
Yes. Short-term capital gains (held less than 24 months) are added to your income and taxed as per your slab rate. Long-term capital gains (held 24+ months) are taxed at 12.5% flat without indexation. Dividends from US stocks are taxable as income in India (after accounting for US withholding tax credit under DTAA). Consult a tax advisor for your specific situation.
Do I need a foreign bank account to invest in US stocks?+
No. Angel One handles the entire remittance process through your existing Indian bank account. You transfer INR, Angel One converts to USD via LRS and credits your international trading account. No foreign bank account is needed.
What are the charges for investing in US stocks?+
Charges typically include: brokerage/platform fee charged by Angel One, currency conversion spread (0.5–1% on forex), TCS on remittance above ₹7 lakh (refundable via ITR), and withdrawal charges when repatriating money back to India. Check the Angel One app or contact us on WhatsApp for the current exact fee schedule.
Can I invest in US index ETFs like S&P 500 from India?+
Yes. SPY (SPDR S&P 500 ETF), QQQ (Invesco NASDAQ 100 ETF), VTI (Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF) and other popular US ETFs are available via Angel One's international platform. Alternatively, Indian mutual fund feeder funds like Motilal Oswal S&P 500 Fund can be bought in INR directly without using LRS.
What happens to my US stocks if the rupee depreciates?+
If the rupee depreciates against the US dollar, the INR value of your US stock investment increases — even if the stock price itself is unchanged. Historically, the rupee has depreciated against the dollar over long periods, providing an additional return for Indian investors holding US assets. However, currency moves can go either way, and a stronger rupee would reduce your effective returns.
Which US stocks are most popular with Indian investors?+
The most popular US stocks among Indian investors include Apple (AAPL), Tesla (TSLA), Microsoft (MSFT), Alphabet/Google (GOOGL), Amazon (AMZN), NVIDIA (NVDA), Meta (META) and index ETFs like SPY and QQQ. Tech stocks from NASDAQ dominate the interest of Indian retail investors.
Is the $250,000 LRS limit per year or per transaction?+
The LRS limit of $250,000 is per individual per financial year (April to March). It covers all foreign remittances combined — investments, education, travel, gifts, etc. Each family member can use their own individual LRS limit separately. Exceeding the limit requires RBI approval.
