Hi,
If you can come to Mumbai, I can arrange the meeting with the required MCX officials which I know and have worked before for setting up commodities license. Investment required to get a card on private name is around 15 lacs.

Official license to open forex trading(international forex) is not allowed, but still they are operating in India without any fuss in my opinion.

To trade and get a "members license" at MCX you have to apply for it, and I have mentioned the cost associated with getting that license only.

For forex pairs(indian exchange) you again have to go for license, either NSE or MCX-SX.

So the best way to do it is to get a franchisee of some reputed brokerage house which will save your cost and will allow you to trade MCX and Indian forx pairs.

Drop me mail and I will explain you in detail everything, I guess you are catering to customers who are into arbitrage business.

I agree with the suggestion given here by ashu1234

@mb2491 - A "broker" is a member of the stock exchange. Example: Sharekhan, Anand Rathi, India Bulls, Religare, Reliance Money, etc. Unless you are financially "extremely" well-off, you cannot meet the requirements of net worth, etc. which are mandatory for grant of membership. Further details for obtaining membership can be found on websites of the respective stock exchanges.

From the impression that I gather from your above posts, I think you are not good enough at the moment to become a "broker" because your knowledge of the broking business is only primordial.

Instead, you should opt for sub-broking association with any of the big brokers such as Sharekhan, Anand Rathi, Ventura, etc. These broker will allow you to use their resources(electronic data resources, software, backoffice, customer support, advertising and marketing, goodwill, analysis, etc) in lieu of sharing the brokerage generated by your clients.

In my humble opinion, you should not venture into this, mainly because your present knowledge of this business is not deep enough. Try learning more about this business.

In good times, even the large brooking houses and their sub-broking outlets were mushrooming in hundreds. But after the crash when retail investors reduced their participation and activity, it was mainly the sub-brokers who were affected the most because unlike their big parents, they could not sell mutual funds, IPO, gold, SIP, insurance policies, etc. for their survival.

Let me know which forex broker you are talking about, if its not possible to reveal name, pm me or mail me. Most of the forex broking companies are fake and there are problems in India on their operation as they are not regulated by our law. So take informed decision. And you can't take license for a foreign company in India, you can take license only for Indian broking business.

Yes, you can operate without the license. About alpari india, they tried to give forex platform some years back but failed to deliver payouts to indian clients that's for sure and people faced problems in past. Now I think alpari is only into indian forex. Since I've traded forex and have seen in past many forex companies come and gone be it fxcm or alpari, nobody was able to deliver. The game here is to get peoples money as most will go for dealing desk and that's easy money. Go to site forexpeaceacademy, see your brokers repo there and read the reviews, about 4xp and admiral markets I dont know but they got bad reviews. For your information reputed forex broker really don't care to open branch in india, there's already big business out there and anyone from india can sign up online from here and do the business. So make sure its a reputed ECN broker, and still many big shots have come and gone and nobody till date had delivered a successfully working Indian branch as claimed. So no matter what if you are getting good execution and spreads, even if they are ECN, its money game and once you go on big scale, the real thing will come out.
All the Best.
