Why do I need to convert rupees to dollars to add money to my US stocks a/c?
Why does my money not get transferred to my US stock account instantly just like I do so for Indian stocks?
Why do I need to provide my income documents for transferring my funds?
Traders are required to submit income documents because, as per the RBI rules all money transfers to US brokers go through an authorized bank. This bank is responsible for doing mandatory compliance checks.
If your relationship with the bank is less than one year, they need to verify your source of funds before transferring the money. For this, they’ll ask for either a one-year bank statement or your Income Tax Return (ITR) acknowledgment. These checks help ensure the transfer follows all legal and regulatory guidelines.
Why is the withdrawal of my money from my US stocks wallet to my Indian savings account not instant?
Withdrawals take time because your funds are kept in USD overseas. When you request a withdrawal, the broker transfers the money to India using the SWIFT international banking network.
After the funds reach your Indian bank, the bank performs mandatory regulatory checks, converts the USD to INR, and then credits your account.
