Who regulates trading in India
The local supervisory authority is SEBI. None of the platforms above hold a SEBI licence — they operate from other jurisdictions and accept clients from India on a cross-border basis. That is legal for you as an individual in most countries, but it means the local regulator cannot help you in a dispute. Check your own tax and reporting obligations before you start.
Frequently asked questions
Is trading on these platforms legal in India?
Using an offshore trading platform as a private individual is not itself illegal in most countries, but none of these platforms are licensed by SEBI. That means the local regulator has no jurisdiction over them and cannot help you recover money in a dispute. You are also responsible for declaring any profit under local tax rules.
How much do I need to open an account?
Opening the account is free. The first deposit is $5 to $10 depending on the platform, with a minimum trade size of $1. Every platform here also gives you a demo account with virtual money, so you can see the terminal before you fund anything.
Why is this ranking different from other sites?
Because we recalculate it per country. A platform with excellent local payment support in one country may offer nothing but crypto in another, and that moves its score. The exact weights are published on our methodology page.
How do you make money?
If you open an account through a link on this site, the platform may pay us a commission. It does not cost you anything and it does not change the score — the weights are fixed in advance and published, and platforms cannot pay to move up.
How fast can I withdraw?
It varies more than anything else on this list, which is why withdrawal speed carries the heaviest weight in our score. Crypto withdrawals are usually processed within an hour; card and bank withdrawals typically take one to three business days, and every platform requires identity verification before the first one.
