Equity deliveries, as well as futures and options, are available to NRIs. The NRI customer must, however, choose a custodian and obtain a 'Custodian Participant' (CP) code to trade futures and options.

ORBIS and Bloom have partnered to provide correctional services. If an NRI client contacts us, we will assist them in obtaining a Custodian Participant code.

NRIs can invest in mutual funds through Bloom, but only as NON-PIS customers. (The USA and Canada NRIs are not allowed to invest in Mutual funds)

Intraday dealing in stocks and equities is prohibited. Trading in currencies or commodities is also prohibited. Intraday trading on futures and options contracts, on the other hand, is permitted. (Only through the use of CP code)

Other points to consider:
- You can only trade in the Equity sector if you map an NRE account. If you're mapping an NRE account, you won't be able to trade in the futures and options segments.
- You can trade in the equities or derivative segments by mapping an NRO account (Futures or Options)
- You can also map both NRE and NRO accounts; in this case, you will need to submit two applications for account opening.
