Pocket Option in India: Deposits, Withdrawals, Signals and Legal Notes

    Updated: 2026-10-01

    India is one of the most active regions for Pocket Option traders. This guide covers what matters before your first deposit.

    Quick answer

    Traders in India register on Pocket Option with an email, practise on the free demo, and can start from a $10 deposit (a $15+ deposit with code SIGAI10 gets +60%). Available payment methods are shown in the cashier for your country. Check local rules first: the RBI has published warnings about unauthorised forex platforms.

    Is Pocket Option legal in India?

    Indian rules on offshore forex and binary options are restrictive, and the RBI publishes an alert list of unauthorised platforms. Read the current rules and decide for yourself; we do not give legal advice.

    Which payment methods work in India?

    The cashier shows the methods available for your account; commonly offered options include local e-payments, cards, e-wallets and crypto. Always deposit and withdraw with the same method in your own name.

    What are the best trading hours in IST?

    The London–New York overlap (13:00–17:00 UTC) is 18:30–22:30 IST — the most liquid window for forex pairs. OTC pairs are available 24/7, including weekends.
