Derivatives (Futures & Options)
Empowering Global Investors to Participate in India’s Dynamic F&O Market
NRIs can now access India’s dynamic Futures & Options (F&O) market for both hedging and growth. With SEBI removing the CP code requirement, the F&O trading process has become significantly simpler. Through NRO-linked accounts with SEBI-registered brokers, we coordinate compliant setups for derivatives participation — enabling smooth execution and structured risk management.
We help NRIs, OCIs, Foreign Nationals, FPIs, and domestic investors navigate eligibility, documentation, and trading rules so that you can focus on strategy, not paperwork.
