Questions investors ask

Can I buy The Southern Company (SO) shares from India?

Yes. Indian residents can invest in the US stock market under the Reserve Bank of India's Liberalised Remittance Scheme (LRS), which lets a resident individual remit up to USD 250,000 per financial year, across all permitted purposes combined. US-listed stocks and ETFs are a permitted investment under the LRS. You are solely responsible for ensuring your remittances comply with the LRS annual limit, the applicable Tax Collected at Source (TCS) rules, and all reporting requirements, including Schedule FA in your income-tax return.

Do I need the price of a whole SO share to invest?

Yes. You can buy fractional shares, which lets you invest a fixed rupee/dollar amount even in high-priced stocks. For example, if one share trades at USD 1,000 and you invest USD 100, you receive 0.1 of a share.

How much can I invest in US stocks in a year?

Under the LRS, an Indian resident can remit up to USD 250,000 per financial year (April to March) across all permitted purposes combined, from their own funds. This is a per-individual limit set by the RBI.

Can I trade SO options or futures?

No. Under RBI / FEMA rules, the LRS does not permit margin trading or speculative instruments such as futures, options, or other derivatives. Your US account is a cash account, not a derivatives and margin account.
