A single share of Apple trades above $230 and a single share of Nvidia trades around $210.. An Indian investor does not need to buy a whole share.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Platforms operating through GIFT City allow purchases. Upstox, Tickertape, INDmoney and NSE IX Global Access all support investments from low as $1 which is roughly \u20b990.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That means an investor can buy 0.004 shares of Apple for $1. The economic exposure is proportional. If the stock rises 10% the value of that $1 investment rises 10%. If the company pays a dividend the investor receives a payout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"the_fixed_costs_that_change_the_math\"><\/span><strong>the fixed costs that change the math<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The $1 entry point is real. It is not the full cost. Every investment in a US stock from India requires money to move from an Indian bank account to a US brokerage account. That movement has fixed costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bank remittance fee. A flat charge of \u20b9500 to \u20b91,000 per transaction depending on the bank. GST applies to the fee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Forex spread. The difference between the interbank rate and the rate the bank quotes. This typically runs from 0.5% to 1.5%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">GST on currency conversion. A tax on the service value of the conversion calculated using slabs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If an investor remits \u20b91,000 and pays a \u20b9500 bank fee plus a 1% spread the total cost is \u20b9510. That is over 50% of the amount invested. The trade itself may be $1. The money movement costs far more than the trade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"the_practical_minimum_%E2%82%B910000_to_%E2%82%B925000\"><\/span><strong>the practical minimum: \u20b910,000 to \u20b925,000<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the investment to be cost-efficient the fixed costs need to be a percentage of the amount remitted. A \u20b910,000 remittance with a \u20b9500 bank fee and a 1% spread has a cost of about \u20b9600 which is 6% of the amount. A \u20b925,000 remittance has the absolute cost but it represents only 2.4% of the amount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The more the remittance, the the cost per rupee invested. That is why the practical minimum for a one-time investment is generally considered to be \u20b910,000 to \u20b925,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The same logic applies to the frequency of remittances. A monthly remittance of \u20b92,000 is less cost-efficient than a quarterly remittance of \u20b96,000. The fixed costs are the same. They are spread over a larger amount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"the_TCS_threshold\"><\/span><strong>the TCS threshold<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is another threshold to consider. Once total LRS remittances cross \u20b910 lakh in a year 20% TCS applies on the excess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This does not affect the investment. It affects the maximum. For an investor remitting amounts TCS is irrelevant because the total is below \u20b910 lakh. For an investor planning an investment the TCS threshold is a factor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what_the_minimum_means_for_investors\"><\/span><strong>what the minimum means for investors<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The micro-investor. Someone who wants to invest \u20b91,000 a month can technically do it. The platform will accept the order.. The fixed costs will eat a large share of the return. A better approach is to accumulate the amount in a savings account and remit a sum once a quarter or once a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The regular investor. Someone who wants to invest \u20b910,000 a month can remit quarterly (\u20b930,000). Place multiple orders. The cost per rupee invested is reasonable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The lump sum investor. Someone with \u20b95 lakh to deploy can remit it in one or two tranches. The fixed costs become a percentage of the total and the investment is cost-efficient from the start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what_retail_investors_should_take_from_this\"><\/span><strong>what retail investors should take from this<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The investment needed to buy a US stock is $1 or roughly \u20b990. That is the entry point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The minimum investment needed for the investment to make sense is higher. Fixed remittance costs make small transfers expensive. A remittance of \u20b910,000 to \u20b925,000 is a practical starting point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The right approach is to think about the cost, not just the ticket size. A $1 trade that costs \u20b9500 in bank fees is not a bargain. It is a learning experience that is best done with an amount enough to absorb the friction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Questions\"><\/span><strong>Frequently Asked Questions<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1. What is the minimum amount needed to invest in US stocks from India?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Platforms like Upstox, Tickertape and NSE IX Global Access allow investing from $1 roughly \u20b990. However the practical minimum for a cost- investment is higher, around \u20b910,000 to \u20b925,000 per remittance to absorb the fixed bank fees and forex spreads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2. Why is the minimum higher than the platform minimum?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because the bank remittance fee of \u20b9500 to \u20b91,000 and the forex spread of 0.5% to 1.5% are fixed costs. On a \u20b91,000 remittance those costs can eat over 50% of the investment. On a \u20b925,000 remittance the same costs are a smaller percentage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3. Can I invest \u20b91,000 a month in US stocks?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Technically yes, but it is not cost-efficient. The fixed costs of remitting \u20b91,000 every month would consume a portion of the investment. A better approach is to accumulate the amount and remit a sum once a quarter or once a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>4. Does TCS apply to investments in US stocks?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">TCS applies when total LRS remittances cross \u20b910 lakh in a financial year. For investments below that threshold TCS does not apply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>5. What is the best way to start investing in US stocks with an amount?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Start by accumulating a sum in a savings account then remit it in a single transfer to the GIFT City brokerage account. This reduces the fixed cost per rupee invested. Once the funds are, in the account you can place fractional orders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fractional investing has removed the share-price barrier.
