indian stock broker who support forex trading

[Harpreet]

In India, the regulatory framework for forex (foreign exchange) trading is governed by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). As a result, Indian residents are allowed to trade only in currency pairs where the Indian Rupee (INR) is one of the currencies, such as:

- USD/INR (US Dollar to Indian Rupee)
- EUR/INR (Euro to Indian Rupee)
- GBP/INR (British Pound to Indian Rupee)
- JPY/INR (Japanese Yen to Indian Rupee)

### Key Considerations:

- **Platforms**: Ensure the broker offers a robust platform for currency trading with advanced tools and real-time data.

For non-INR forex pairs (such as EUR/USD or GBP/USD), Indian residents are generally not permitted to trade through domestic brokers due to regulatory restrictions. If you're looking for broader forex trading opportunities, you might need to explore offshore brokers, but these involve complexities related to legal restrictions.
