Hi Tariq..Amazing thread and gave clarity for the first time ever. One question that has always bothered me is the exchange rate and associated charges for each direct transaction ( lets say USD 1000) on ICICI and Groww platforms?

Hello Tar , thanks for this detailed thread. I hv few queries if you can help

1. Taxation- for the case where we hold US stock >2 yrs , how indexation benifit applies ( I thought that's for real estate )

2. From depositing money in INR till US stock purchase which broker is fastest ( I think icici takes 3-4 days min ) , your exp with groww as how long it takes when u deposit money till actual buy transaction happen ?

3- are u able to find small/micro caps on groww/indMoney , I think they don't show all listed entities on Nasdaq eg was searching for maxcyte and couldn't find.

4. Can we apply for US IPOs eg case of freshworks , I could see it's only visible to buy on listing day ( so can't we apply before listing like we do in india )

Thanks in advance bro.

Hi Tariq, thanks for putting your thoughts together on ways to get exposure to international equity markets.

I am using IND Money application and have a 2-1 savings account with them and they don’t charge for forex and transactions as well..

Hi. It is so informative and you have taken great pains to inform us about the nitty gritty of investments in foreign stocks. I have become fan of yours once I have seen your presentation in Bloomberg end 2021. It was great and I feel that you are quite transparent. Kudos to your efforts and initiative and I wish you a bright prospects.

Hi Tariq, thx for writing this. I have been trying to understand the risk involved with stocks lying with US broker. have opened account with Groww and IndMoney but didnt get confidence about their US broker. I have now opened account with Interactive broker - they have India arm. Looks safer because ICICI and HDFC apparently have tied up with them. Any views on this ? thanks for sharing

1 more query , if you could share a sample case of say investing 1L rs in a single US stock and selling it after 2-3 years (LTCG case) , what absolute return someone can expect ( just consider a good profit say stock has become 2-3x) , will give us idea on taxation and returns .

Thanks
