Step-by-step procedure

See the procedure infobox above.

What INDmoney offers beyond MFs

US stocks: Through partner US broker, fractional-share investing in US equities (Apple, Microsoft, etc.) under LRS (Liberalised Remittance Scheme).
NPS: National Pension System account opening and SIP contributions.
Fixed deposits: Compare FD rates across banks; book through aggregator partners.
CAS aggregation: Imports your Consolidated Account Statement to show all MF holdings across platforms.
Credit score: Free credit score check from bureau partners.

This makes INDmoney distinctive as a single-app personal-finance platform.

MF-specific features

Direct plans only.
Categorisation, returns comparison, expense ratio filters.
Goal-based portfolios.
Risk profile questionnaire-driven recommendations.

Coverage

All SEBI-registered AMCs accessible via direct plan.

Cross-asset implications

If you use INDmoney for both MFs and US stocks, you’ll need:

LRS-compliant USD remittance for US stocks (separate KYC for US broking partner).
Form A2 for outward remittance.
Annual reporting under FEMA for US holdings.

This is a complexity layer that pure MF platforms (Coin, Groww, Kuvera) don’t have.
