Step 3: Fund your brokerage account

After your account has been approved; you must fund it before you can purchase HDFC Bank ADRs. Transfer funds from your bank account to your brokerage account to accomplish this. You can also fund your account with a check, wire transfer, or electronic funds transfer at some brokerage firms.

Step 4: Look for the HDFC Bank ADR ticker symbol.

After locating HDFC Bank's ADR ticker symbol, you can place an order to purchase its ADRs. This is typically done online via your brokerage firm's trading platform. You must specify the number of ADRs you want to purchase as well as the price you are willing to pay.

Step 6: Keep an eye on your investment.

After purchasing/buying HDFC Bank ADRs; it is critical to keep a close eye on your investment. Keep an eye on the stock's performance as well as any news or events that may have an impact on its price. You can also use your brokerage account to set up alerts to notify you of any significant changes in the stock's price or volume.

Step 7: Sell your ADRs

If you decide to sell your HDFC Bank ADRs; you can do so through the trading platform of your brokerage firm. You must specify the number of ADRs you wish to sell as well as the price at which you wish to sell them. Remember that selling ADRs may result in taxes and fees.
