Ten are shown; the button opens the rest.

"group" marks a figure the broker publishes for the group rather than for this country. It is shown because the broker states it, and it is not ranked, averaged or used to sort.

— the broker does not publish this figure; it is not read as a zero and it is not scored.

Axis Direct publishes a retail leverage of 1:100 without naming the entity that grants it, so the figure is marked group and left out of the leverage ranking and median.

    How to read this ranking

    1. Start with the figure this page ranks on.

      Every row here is ordered by computed score, highest first; unscored brokers follow. A broker that publishes no figure is shown without one rather than guessed at.

    2. Check which company would onboard you.

      The same brand can take a resident of India through a locally licensed entity or an offshore one, and the leverage cap, the complaint route and the protection all follow the entity, not the brand.

    3. Read the cost beside the deposit.

      The median round turn across this country is 7.0 USD and the median minimum deposit 15.0 USD; a low deposit beside a wide spread takes the difference back on every trade.

    FAQ

    How many brokers qualify for this ranking in India?
    22 of 90 brokers measured for this country qualify.
    Which broker leads it, and on what basis?
    Interactive Brokers leads it with a score of 4.14. The order is computed score, highest first; unscored brokers follow.
    What does a trade typically cost here?
    The median round turn - spread plus commission for one standard lot, in and out - is 7.0 USD across the brokers that publish both parts.
    Why do some rows show a dash instead of a figure?
    Because the broker does not publish that figure for this country. A dash is a statement about what is published, and a figure is never filled in from a group-wide page as if it applied locally.

    How this slice is scored

    Slice score = 2 + 3 × weighted mean of the six axes; the swap-free fee and availability feed price and reliability. A missing axis drops out and weights are renormalised; group-wide figures never enter. Full methodology

    Risk warning and affiliate disclosure

    CFDs are complex instruments with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. A swap-free account removes overnight interest, not market risk. We earn a commission on some links; paid rows are marked and never ranked first.
