Currency trading in India

Currency/Forex trading in India is not so easy.

The only currency pair allowed for trading is Rupee/US Dollar pair but you need to make a minimum investment of 1000 USD. SO that comes around 45000 roughly. You can only trade in multiples of 1000 US only.

I think this much of initial investment leaves out most of the middle class investors out.

Reliancemoney, ICICI Direct, Kotak Securities, Alpari are some companies that i know which offer Currency trading in India.

I heard that almost all the Demat account offering companies also provide Forex trading in one way or the other.
