Is Quotex legal in India?
Forex trading by Indian residents is tightly restricted under RBI/FEMA rules. Only INR-based currency derivatives on regulated exchanges (NSE/BSE) are permitted; trading with offshore forex brokers is discouraged by the RBI and can breach FEMA.
Quotex does not hold a SEBI / Reserve Bank of India licence specifically for India in our records, so Indian clients are typically served through Quotex's international/offshore entity. That means you rely on that entity's regulation rather than local India protection — check which entity you're signing up with.

For Indian traders
Before you trade from India
Laws change and are enforced differently — this is general information, not legal advice. Always confirm the current rules with SEBI / Reserve Bank of India and verify which Quotex entity serves India. Trading Forex/CFDs is high-risk and can lose all your capital.
