Indian traders use the <strong>Exness (SC) Ltd entity<\/strong>, which is regulated by the FSA (Financial Services Authority) in Seychelles under licence number SD025.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <p>Under India's FEMA (Foreign Exchange Management Act), retail forex trading is legally restricted to currency pairs involving INR (such as USD\/INR, EUR\/INR) on SEBI-regulated exchanges like NSE and BSE. Trading non-INR pairs (such as EUR\/USD, GBP\/USD, or XAU\/USD) through offshore brokers like Exness operates in a <strong>legal grey area<\/strong> \u2014 it is not explicitly banned, but it is also not explicitly permitted under domestic regulations.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <div class=\"box warn\">\r\n <div class=\"box-ic\">\u26a0\ufe0f<\/div>\r\n <div class=\"box-bd\">\r\n <strong>Important legal and tax disclaimer for Indian traders<\/strong>\r\n <p>Exness is accessible and widely used by hundreds of thousands of Indian traders, but it is not SEBI-registered. Profits from forex trading may be subject to Indian income tax (typically as business income or capital gains). We strongly recommend consulting a qualified Indian tax advisor or CA before trading.

Indian traders use the <strong>Exness (SC) Ltd entity<\/strong>, which is regulated by the FSA (Financial Services Authority) in Seychelles under licence number SD025.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <p>Under India's FEMA (Foreign Exchange Management Act), retail forex trading is legally restricted to currency pairs involving INR (such as USD\/INR, EUR\/INR) on SEBI-regulated exchanges like NSE and BSE. Trading non-INR pairs (such as EUR\/USD, GBP\/USD, or XAU\/USD) through offshore brokers like Exness operates in a <strong>legal grey area<\/strong> \u2014 it is not explicitly banned, but it is also not explicitly permitted under domestic regulations.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <div class=\"box warn\">\r\n <div class=\"box-ic\">\u26a0\ufe0f<\/div>\r\n <div class=\"box-bd\">\r\n <strong>Important legal and tax disclaimer for Indian traders<\/strong>\r\n <p>Exness is accessible and widely used by hundreds of thousands of Indian traders, but it is not SEBI-registered.
