Legal Framework
Liberalized Remittance Scheme (LRS)
RBI permits resident individuals to remit up to USD 250,000 per financial year for permitted transactions including investment in foreign securities.
How to Start
- Open account with RBI-authorized dealer bank
- Complete LRS declaration (Form A2)
- Transfer funds via approved channel
- Open account with US broker (IBKR, TD, etc.)
- Start trading (keep tax documents)
Tax Compliance
Income Tax in India
- • Capital gains taxed as foreign asset
- • Dividends taxable at slab rates
- • Report in ITR Schedule FA
- • Claim US tax paid as foreign credit
US Withholding
US withholds 25% on dividends (W-8BEN form reduces from 30%). This can be claimed as foreign tax credit in India under DTAA.
Important Considerations
- Currency risk: USD-INR fluctuations affect returns
- Compliance burden: Additional tax filing requirements
- Forex charges: 0.5-2% on conversion each way
- Estate tax: US estate tax may apply on death (treaty protection up to $60K)
- Time zone: Late night trading may not suit everyone
