Hi Friends,
I am following this thread for quite some time and ithas been quite informative so far. After going through the posts, I have some specific questions related to Forex Trading in India wrt to the legalities:
1. Is it that the REMITTANCE in INR to overseas forex broker ILLEGAL (assuming margin based spot trading) OR trading forex online from India as a whole is illegal ? (IP address is tracked)
And if remittance is an issue, will it be legal if I get the funds deposited through any overseas account (lets say from a friend's account or credit card ) ? In the same line, where do I stand if I pay through my international credit card (issued in india) or Paypal ?
2. Everywhere in RBI circulars it is stressed upon Remittance. How about withdrawal ? Is it legal to withdraw money from the forex brokers through wire transfer (credited to my indian bank account) - assuming there is a legal way of depositing. Again in the same line, if i withdraw through paypal or indian credit card what is the implication ?
Friends - I am interested in FX trading but within the legal arena. Any authenticated information is highly appreciated.
