Why India matters for brokers

India has one of the largest trading communities in the world and one of the deepest pools of fintech, software and back-office talent. That makes it a natural home for introducing-broker networks, prop trading businesses, development teams and founders building brokerages for international markets.

But it is also a restricted market for leveraged forex. Residents may trade currency derivatives only on recognised Indian exchanges, and the Reserve Bank of India warns against unauthorised platforms. The right business model — and the right technology controls — matter more here than almost anywhere else.

Licensing Routes

How brokers operate in India

Retail forex trading in India is regulated by SEBI and the Reserve Bank of India under FEMA. Indian residents may only trade permitted INR currency pairs on recognised Indian exchanges, and the RBI publishes an alert list of unauthorised forex platforms. Our India clients are therefore typically IBs, prop firms, technology companies and groups operating licensed entities outside India for clients in permitted jurisdictions.

Launch Roadmap

Launching a brokerage business for India: step by step

Define who your clients are

The most important decision in India is whether your clients will be Indian residents or clients in other countries. It determines what is permitted.

Take legal advice under FEMA and SEBI

A specialist lawyer can confirm whether your model is allowed and which licence or structure you need.

Choose the entity and jurisdiction

An Indian exchange broker, a GIFT City IFSC entity, or a licensed entity abroad for international clients.

Build compliance into the technology

Country restrictions in onboarding, KYC checks, IP and document controls so that only eligible clients can open accounts.

Set up payments for permitted markets

International cards, wires, e-wallets and stablecoin methods, each restricted by country.

Launch and monitor

Go live with ongoing compliance monitoring, reporting and IB oversight.

Local Payments

Payment methods traders in India expect

For businesses serving permitted markets we integrate international cards, bank wires, e-wallets and crypto/stablecoin gateways, with country-level rules so that each payment method is only shown where it is allowed.
