What can you see in the US Stocks List?
The US Stocks List page provides you with a free, consolidated list of all US stocks listed on the NYSE and NASDAQ. By default, the stocks are arranged by market capitalisation. The following are available without login:
- Complete stock data: Every row displays the stock name, last traded price, change %, volume, market cap (Mn), PE ratio, industry PE, 52-week high, returns across 1 month, 3 months, 1 year, 3 years, and 5 years, along with ROE and ROCE.
- Comprehensive universe: It currently offers a list of 6,534 listed US stocks to Indian investors to browse and invest in, across both NYSE and NASDAQ.
- Alphabetical navigation: You can browse stocks by the first letter of the company name using the A–Z filter tabs, or select All to view the complete list
- Quick links: Direct access to exchange-specific lists like All NYSE Stocks, All NASDAQ Stocks, and All US ETFs for faster navigation.
However, investors can add particular stocks to their basket or invest in them only after logging in with a Dhan account.
What is the US Stocks List?
The US market is the world's largest equity market by capitalisation, and the US Stocks List gives Indian investors access to companies and sectors that are either absent or significantly underrepresented in domestic markets.
Global giants like Apple, Nvidia, Microsoft, and Amazon are not listed on any Indian exchange; therefore, investors seeking exposure to these stocks can add them to their portfolio through US stock investment.
Beyond the marquee technology names, the US market also offers access to biotechnology, global consumer brands, semiconductor manufacturers, aerospace companies, and financial institutions operating at a scale that no single domestic market can replicate.
The US Stocks List offers Indian investors the exposure to build a diversified portfolio that is not tied to a single currency, a single central bank's policy cycle, or a single economy's growth trajectory.
How Can Indians Invest in US Stocks from India?
Indian residents can invest in US stocks under the RBI's Liberalised Remittance Scheme (LRS), which permits remittances of up to $250,000 per financial year. The process does not require a foreign bank account or a separate overseas brokerage relationship. Here is how it works:
Step 1: Open a Dhan account
Start US stock investments by opening a Dhan demat account. Existing Dhan users with a verified account can access US stock investing directly; no separate account or additional registration is required.
Step 2: Add bank account and transfer funds
Investors have to link their bank account to transfer funds in Indian Rupees to their account. Dhan has integrated smooth fund transfers with Axis Bank, HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, IDFC FIRST Bank, and Kotak Mahindra Bank. You can start as low as $1.
Step 3: Browse and select stocks
Once funds are credited to the account, you can browse the complete list of US stocks and select the stocks you want to invest in.
Step 4: Place the order
You can place orders during US market hours. NYSE and NASDAQ operate from 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM Eastern Time (ET), which corresponds to approximately 7:00 PM to 1:30 AM IST (8:00 PM to 2:30 AM IST during Indian summer, when the US observes DST). Investors who want to place orders outside these hours can place after-market orders.
Step 5: Track and manage the portfolio
All US stock holdings are visible within the Dhan portfolio interface alongside domestic equity positions, mutual funds, and other investments. Investors can monitor unrealised gains and losses, review transaction history, and place sell orders within the same interface they use for domestic markets.
How are gains on US stock investments taxed in India?
Gains from US stock investments are taxable in India. Holdings sold within 24 months are treated as short-term capital gains and taxed at the applicable slab rate, while holdings sold after 24 months qualify for long-term capital gains at 12.5%.
Dividends from US stocks are taxable in both India and the US. If an Indian investor has filed Form W-8BEN, dividends from US stock investments are subject to a 25% US withholding tax under the DTAA; if not, they are subject to a 30% tax. Moreover, all gross income must be reported in India to avoid double taxation. In India, dividends will be taxed at the investor's applicable income tax slab rate, and the 25% already deducted by the US can be claimed by the investor as a Foreign Tax Credit (FTC) to avoid double taxation.
Furthermore, no TCS is levied on remittance amounts of up to ₹10 lakh in a financial year. If the remittance amount exceeds ₹10 lakh in a financial year, banks collect 20% TCS, which can be adjusted against the investor's final income tax liability when filing the ITR.

Key Terms to Know

- Dividend withholding tax: The US government deducts a 25% tax (under the DTAA) on dividends paid out by US companies to Indian residents.
Why Track US Stocks List on Dhan?
Tracking the US Stocks List on Dhan offers distinct advantages such as:
