India book

Valura's IFSCA-regulated global-investing product for Indian residents. US equities via LRS, custody at ViewTrade IFSC (USD), funding via GlomoPay (INR → USD).

What makes India different from UAE

  • Two funding sources for one deposit. The customer's INR arrives via GlomoPay, converts to USD, then lands at ViewTrade. Same money, two ledger views — see Two-source model.
  • INR-side tax exposure. LRS annual cap ($250k / PAN / FY), TCS threshold (₹7L), STCG / LTCG on US equities, DTAA foreign-tax-credit on US dividends, Schedule FA foreign-asset reporting.
  • New revenue line: FX spread. Valura earns a spread on the INR-to-USD conversion. This is India's main revenue driver.
  • New payable: ViewTrade. Valura owes ViewTrade its brokerage cost per trade (see Brokerage economics).

What's the same as UAE

  • Same double-entry engine.
  • Same posting rules for shared event types (deposits, trades, dividends, reversals).
  • Same reconciliation framework.
  • Same frontend, with a book toggle.
