About the Editorial Team
An independent editorial resource that reviews one broker for readers in India, with no ties to that broker and no financial services of its own.
Compare against the sponsorHow We Pay for This
You are most likely here because you are weighing whether to open an account with Interactive Brokers and want a plain account of how the platform behaves for someone resident in India. That is the whole reason this site exists. We are not the broker, we are not affiliated with it, and we do not open accounts, hold deposits, route orders or give advice. What we publish is editorial work: reading, testing, comparing documents and writing down what we find in language a reader can check against their own experience.
The site pays for itself through advertising and commercial arrangements that are kept strictly separate from editorial judgement. No broker, intermediary or advertiser sees a verdict before publication, comments on a draft, or pays to change a conclusion. Money does not decide what we write, and a commercial relationship is never a condition of a favourable assessment. Where a page carries advertising, that is disclosed on the page itself.
We do not accept payment for a rating, a ranking or a placement in a comparison. If we cannot fund a piece of work without compromising that rule, we do not publish it.
Limits of a Review
A review describes what a platform looked like, and how it behaved, at the time we examined it. It cannot tell you what your experience will be. Fees change, features are added or withdrawn, and the treatment of a customer in India can differ from the treatment of a customer elsewhere because of tax rules, currency handling, local restrictions or the requirements of the broker's own compliance checks.
We do not know your circumstances, your tax position, your tolerance for risk or your reasons for investing. Nothing here is a recommendation to open an account or to trade, and nothing here is investment, tax or legal advice. A review is one input among several; the broker's own legal documents and your own enquiries carry more weight than anything we can write.
We also cannot verify what happens inside a private account. Our observations come from public documentation, from the platform as we could access it, and from what readers tell us. Where we are uncertain, we say so rather than filling the gap with a guess.
Review Cycle
Pages are revisited on a regular schedule rather than left to age quietly. Pages covering fees, account terms and regulatory status are checked most often, because those are the details most likely to change and most costly to get wrong. General explanatory pages are refreshed less frequently but are still read against the current documentation.
When a change is material, we update the page and note the date of the revision. When a change is minor, we still correct the text rather than leave a known error standing. A page that has not been checked recently will say so. We would rather admit that a figure may be stale than present an old number as current.
Challenging What We Publish
If something here looks wrong to you, say so. Readers who use the platform in India often notice details that are hard to see from outside, and a correction that improves the page is worth more to us than a compliment. Use the contact form on this site and describe the page, the statement you believe is inaccurate, and what you think the correct position is. Screenshots and document references help.
Every challenge is read by a member of the editorial team. We check it against the source, correct the page where the challenge is right, and explain our reasoning where we think the original text stands. We do not remove accurate material because someone would prefer it gone.
There are things we will not do. We will not publish a verdict for payment, remove a criticism to suit a broker, hide an advertising relationship, or present ourselves as regulated, licensed or endorsed by anyone. We will not invent figures, dates or credentials, and we will not tell you that an account is suitable for you. If a page cannot meet those standards, it does not go up.
