Dhan, one of India's fastest-growing trading and investing platforms, has introduced access to US stocks & ETFs for Indian investors through the Dhan app, allowing them to invest in leading global companies and exchange-traded funds under a fully regulated framework.

The US stocks and ETFs are being offered through Raise IFSC Private Limited, Dhan's wholly-owned subsidiary and an India INX exchange member operating under IFSCA's GIFT City framework, in partnership with ViewTrade, Dhan's brokerage partner, and GlomoPay, its payments technology service provider.

Dhan charges no account maintenance and custody fees, while the brokerage is set at 0.25% of the total transaction value. Dhan brings several features popular with its users, including SIPs in US stocks and ETFs, super orders, and seamless portfolio tracking with analytics.

“We are excited about presenting Dhan investors the opportunity to invest in global companies and brands that shape our daily lives. Investing internationally in US stocks had lacked clarity and direction until recent times, Dhan solves the same for Indian investors by offering US investing via

IFSC GIFT City route. We believe Indian investors, while seeking to diversify their portfolios through US equities, should be able to do so through a trusted platform backed by a robust regulatory framework. That is precisely what we have built with Dhan," said Pravin Jadhav, Founder & CEO of Dhan.

The US market is home to some of the world's most influential companies, offering investment opportunities across technology, artificial intelligence, semiconductors, consumer businesses, healthcare, and a broad range of globally tracked ETFs. All Indian residents are eligible to invest in the stocks listed on both Nasdaq and NYSE. At this stage trading in derivatives is not allowed.

Dhan offers a transparent and convenient experience for its investors. Money and investments move between geographies and entities with full traceability, supported by time-bound processing for deposits and withdrawals and a dedicated customer support team. The investing experience remains focused, without unnecessary clutter or constant prompts.

Fund transfers are integrated with leading Indian banks enabling money to move directly and compliantly into investors' US accounts, with more banking partners to be added over time. Dividend income is subject to US withholding tax under the DTAA framework and is credited to the investor's ledger, allowing investors to claim the corresponding tax credit in India. Capital gains are taxed as per Indian tax rules, with short-term gains taxed at the investor's applicable slab rate and long-term gains at 12.5%.

US Stocks on Dhan is now available to all Dhan users through the Dhan app, allowing investors to get started directly within the platform.
