Guys,
How to open DEMAT account in India for online trading? [On name of NRI]
I want to compare online trading features of different banks and would like to know which one will be best suitable for NRI.
I am not filing tax return in India from last 7 years. If I'll have some income from online trading, do I need to file tax return in India?
Thanks

You will be taxed on the gains in India, if it is short term. {If it is held for a longer period of an year or more then they will consider it as long term Capital Gains} They do not attract ANY taxes on the gains. ! The year there is from the 1st of April to the 31st of March of an year.
But there will be taxes to be paid on it on an yearly basis here in Canada. The year here is from 1st of January to the the 31st of December.
Most or all of the Indian Banks and the brokers are linked and will provide you with a DEMAT account upon opening an NRI or NRO account with them. You can link that account to the Demat account at any broker. Some have direct links and they will recommend the appropriate bank to choose.
But trading there in India and paying taxes at both ends is not a profitable situation. You have the choice not to. And if you are a Canadian Citizen, then delve a little deeper into double taxation prior to getting into it.
This is valuable information.

PAN Card Required !
Also, please note that without a PAN card, you will not be able to open a DEMAT Account. It is a mandatory SEBI rule and all banks are required to abide by this condition.
I would advise you to get in touch with and they will answer your queries to the T.

I am canadian citizen and already applied OCI. I'll have OCI soon hopefully. OCI gives parity to NRI.
I have PAN card too.
If I'll gain something in India, Do I have to file tax return after end of the year in India? OR bank/broker will deduct tax from the gain itself? (Do you think I'll have to pay 30% flat tax because of NRI?)
Also, Can I report income to CRA and ask for tax credit which I'll pay in India?
I am new in this matter....
Thanks

Well one good thing about a "GOOD" broker that they manage everything for you in India. I am in same situation as you are ... Canadian Citizen having OCI and holding Indian equities. I have one broker in Mumbai and they do everything for me and charge me very nominal anual fees.
As far as reporting your gains in Canada for tax purpose ... well I am not very keen on doing that It is too much of paper work and hassle.. I would like to avoid it as long as I can.

I agree to the last post. Too much hassle. And, unless you are one clever dude, I don't see you making a huge profit in the Indian market given today's reality.
If you make short term capital gains (buy and sell shares at a profit within 6 months) you will get a TDS deduction of 11% applied immediately after the sale and the remainder is your profit/share money. After a year, a good broker will post you a TDS statement.
As an NRI, you will have the option of opening 4 types of accounts (2 of which are wholly Repatriable and non-taxable but the shares you can invest in are limited to A and B group shares ) and (2 are Non-Repatriable and taxable but the shares you can invest in almost the entire spectrum)
