NRIs can only trade on delivery basis in Indian equities. So, intraday trading, BTST trading, STBT trading and even short selling is not open to NRIs. Currently, NRIs have been permitted to trade in Indian equities and F&O but they are barred from trading in currency derivatives and in commodities.
