Can I change my current FYERS account to an NRO Non-PIS account?

Yes, you can convert your current FYERS resident trading and Demat account into an NRO Non-PIS account. This is a common process for clients who have moved abroad and need to comply with FEMA and SEBI regulations as a Non-Resident Indian (NRI).

Who can apply for conversion?

  • Indian citizens who have become NRIs under FEMA rules
  • Existing FYERS clients holding a resident Demat and trading account
  • Clients with a valid NRO bank account and NRI-status PAN

Steps to start the conversion

  1. Visit the NRI conversion page: Register here
  2. Submit your details including PAN, passport, visa, and bank proof
  3. FYERS will guide you through form submissions and CDSL migration
  4. Conversion takes around 7–10 business days after successful document verification

What if...

ScenarioWhat you should know

Ensure your PAN is updated for NRI status in the Income Tax database before initiating the conversion. This helps prevent KYC or tax mismatches during migration.
