Most retail investors end a year of CFD trading with a loss.

Infosys
NSE Information Technology LargeInternational brokers like Fusion Markets offer Infosys as a share CFD, alongside the NSE-listed stock. Trading INFY as a CFD is not the same as owning the shares on NSE - you speculate on the price movement without taking ownership, and leverage can amplify both gains and losses.
Regulatory Status in India
Fusion Markets onboards Indian retail clients under its offshore arms: Gleneagle Securities Pty Limited (Vanuatu VFSC reg. 40256) and Fusion Markets International Ltd (Seychelles FSA licence SD096). The broker holds no SEBI registration. Under RBI/FEMA rules, retail FX/CFD trading in non-INR pairs via offshore brokers is not permitted for residents.
RBI publishes an "Alert List" of unauthorised forex trading platforms; as of the 19 November 2025 update it totals 95 entities, and Fusion Markets was among the seven added in that update. The list is not exhaustive - verify the current version at rbi.org.in.
Instruments and Leverage
Fusion Markets offers 250+ instruments: 90+ forex pairs, metals, commodities, indices, share CFDs (including INFY) and crypto CFDs. Leverage is up to 1:500 on FX majors and metals, 1:100 on indices and energies, and 1:20 on crypto CFDs - not capped by a local Indian regulator.
Account Types and Costs
Fusion Markets offers two account types. The Zero account provides raw spreads from 0.0 pips plus an AUD 4.50 per side per lot commission. The Classic account bundles costs into the spread, which starts from ~0.9 pips on EUR/USD, with no commission. There is no minimum deposit.
| Account Detail | Zero Account | Classic Account |
|---|---|---|
| Commission | AUD 4.50/side/lot | None |
| EUR/USD spread | From 0.0 pips | From ~0.9 pips |
| Minimum deposit | None | None |
| Instruments | 250+ | 250+ |
| Leverage (FX majors) | Up to 1:500 | Up to 1:500 |
Platforms include MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, cTrader and TradingView integration across desktop, web and mobile.
Funding and Base Currency
Fusion Markets does not offer an INR base-currency account. Accounts are held in USD, AUD, EUR, GBP, JPY, CHF, CAD, NZD, SGD or HKD, so every rupee deposit and withdrawal incurs conversion.
Deposits are available via bank wire, Visa/Mastercard, Skrill, Neteller, PayPal and crypto (BTC/USDT). There is no verified UPI or local INR rail. Card deposits are instant with a $0 broker fee; international bank wires may incur ~USD 20–30.
| Payment Method | Speed | Fee |
|---|---|---|
| Visa/Mastercard | Instant | $0 broker fee |
| Bank Wire | 2–5 days | ~USD 20–30 |
| Skrill/Neteller | Instant | Varies |
| PayPal | Instant | Varies |
| Crypto (BTC/USDT) | 10–30 min | Network fee only |
Tax Considerations
The tax picture for Indian residents depends on how the position is classified. Exchange-traded currency F&O profits are generally treated as non-speculative business income taxed at slab rates. Offshore CFD profits must be declared as foreign income, and a 20% TCS applies on LRS foreign remittances above Rs 10 lakh per financial year (threshold raised from Rs 7 lakh, effective 1 April 2025); the TCS is credited as advance tax. Residents must declare worldwide income and foreign assets via Schedule FA. Crypto gains are taxed separately at a flat 30% + 4% cess.
| Tax Item | Rate/Detail |
|---|---|
| Exchange-traded F&O profit | Taxed at slab rates |
| Speculative intraday losses | Carry-forward 4 years |
| Non-speculative losses | Carry-forward 8 years |
| LRS TCS above Rs 10L | 20%, advance-tax credit |
| Crypto gains | Flat 30% + 4% cess |
How INFY Fits
INFY moves on US client spending, quarterly earnings and IT sector sentiment. The same technical setups visible on NSE are available on CFD platforms, with leverage of up to 1:100 on share CFDs. Discipline in position sizing is essential: at maximum share-CFD leverage, a routine 2% daily swing in the stock would consume 200% of the margin.
Suitability
Fusion Markets offers raw spreads from 0.0 pips, no minimum deposit and no deposit-bonus promotions. The Zero account is among the lowest round-trip cost structures available, and the platform list covers MT4, MT5, cTrader and TradingView. The trade-off is the regulatory position: for Indian residents, trading non-INR CFDs via offshore brokers is not permitted under RBI/FEMA rules, and the entity appears on the RBI Alert List. Traders who require a regulated onshore structure should consider SEBI-registered exchange-traded alternatives instead.
