Can NRIs Invest in Mutual Funds Through FYERS?

Yes, Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) can invest in mutual funds through FYERS, subject to the eligibility set by individual fund houses. FYERS allows NRI participation in direct mutual fund plans, but each Asset Management Company (AMC) defines its own rules—especially for investors from FATCA-restricted countries like the U.S. and Canada.

Mutual Fund Eligibility for NRIs on FYERS

To invest in mutual funds via FYERS as an NRI, the following conditions must be met:

  • The mutual fund scheme must permit NRI participation (as per AMC policy)
  • You must have completed NRI-compliant KYC, including FATCA declaration
  • Investments must be made through a linked NRE or NRO bank account

FYERS will automatically restrict access to schemes that are not NRI-eligible. Only permissible funds will be visible to you at the time of placing an order.

Always refer to the Scheme Information Document (SID) or Key Information Memorandum (KIM) to confirm if NRI investments are allowed—especially if you're based in the U.S. or Canada.
