forex trading is baned only when indian ruppe is not involved..

like all international pairs, EUR/USD,USD/JPY, GBP/USD etc, etc etc..

but pairs where indian ruppee is traded like USD INR, EUR INR, JPY INR, GBP INR are legal and are actively traded in NSE MCX exchanges..

now it wouldnt be traded in mcx nd nse if it were banned by rbi now would it be ? :p

See this mailer sent by HDFC. Any credit card transaction for Forex or Margin trading will be reported to the RBI (see point E). The right to use CC may be revoked too.

Yes thats correct ! :thumb:

Best is to let a friend handle the money from abroad, while one does the trading bit :p

Later the friend can remit it as a personal remittance, no credit-card used in this way nor can it cause trouble with the Govt :D

Overseas forex trading is explicitly banned in India. Individuals can trade fx in NSE and MCX with four approved pair like USDINR, JPYINR, EURINR, GBPINR. Thats legal and allowed.

Brokerages are extremely low.

Hear Quantart is offering zero brokerage. no monthly fixed also.
