"group" marks a figure the broker publishes for the group rather than for this country. It is shown because the broker states it, and it is not ranked, averaged or used to sort.
— the broker does not publish this figure; it is not read as a zero and it is not scored.
138 further account types are named by their brokers but publish none of these figures, so they are not in the comparison: Eightcap Standard, Eightcap Raw, Fusion Markets Classic account, Pepperstone Standard, Pepperstone no minimum deposit, Trade Nation Two live tiers - lower-leverage and 132 more.
Identical for every row, so it is stated once: Platforms MT5 cTrader +2 · Accepts residents Yes · local SEBI · Type ECN/raw · EURUSD spread 0.10 pips · avg · Currencies USD · INR.
