Indian markets remain one of the world's fastest-growing - and as an NRI, you have access to participate.
Open a trading account with Sapphire Broking and a demat account with our DP partner SMC Global Securities. Full RBI-compliant onboarding for both PIS (Portfolio Investment Scheme) and Non-PIS routes, with NRE and NRO support.
Trade equities through PIS-linked NRE/NRO accounts as required by RBI, or invest in mutual funds and IPOs through Non-PIS Non-Repatriable accounts.
Link your existing NRE (repatriable) or NRO (non-repatriable) account. Full support for both currency-conversion flows.
Every transaction is reported and reconciled per FEMA guidelines. Tax deduction at source (TDS) handled automatically.
Documents are accepted with notarisation or embassy attestation. We guide you through the process from your country of residence.
No branch visits, no Indian residency required. Open and operate your account from any country with internet access.
Equities, IPOs, mutual funds, ETFs, and bonds - invest across all SEBI-permitted segments with one consolidated portfolio.
We'll guide you through PIS approval (if needed), document attestation, and account activation - typically within 10–15 working days.
Upload PAN, OCI/PIO card or foreign passport, NRE/NRO bank proof, and address proof (notarised or embassy-attested as per your country's requirements).
For equity trading, we facilitate PIS approval from your bank as required by RBI. Non-PIS investments (MFs, IPOs) skip this step.
Once verified and PIS-linked, your trading and demat accounts are activated. Start investing in Indian markets remotely.
Your NRI trading account is opened with Sapphire Broking (SEBI Reg. INZ000329823), and your demat account is opened with our DP partner, SMC Global Securities Limited (CDSL).
All equity trades route through your PIS-linked NRE or NRO account as mandated by RBI. Sale proceeds, dividends, and capital gains are credited to the same linked account, with TDS handled automatically. We provide quarterly statements suitable for both Indian and foreign tax filings.
