Sorry not stocks, but I am using my SBI Stocks account if that counts.

I am trying to understand the interphase of the SBI Forex site. In the order page, I cannot seem to pick the leverage. Can anyone help me figure this out?

I think with the exception of my Japanese SP500 ETF which somehow deposits my dividends to my bank account, my other dividends goes to my SBI account. Just wanted to confirm that this is in fact what the above setting does and I am not taxed on dividends.

Hmm I am trying to recall what I did years ago when I applied for the account. Your post reminds me that maybe I did fill in a hard copy since the webform won't accept my name.

Just a heads up for those planning to use Sony Bank to remit USD (both locally and internationally). Sony Bank takes KYC to a whole new level. You have to pre-register accounts to remit to and you have to indicate how much you expect to remit per year. Fine so far. But to prove that you have the mea...
