NRIs can open a trading account with FYERS by linking their NRO (Non-Resident Ordinary) bank account. This setup enables NRIs to access Indian stock markets through their FYERS account, subject to applicable regulatory and documentation requirements.
Steps to open an NRI account using your NRO bank account
- Fill out the NRI account signup form,
selecting your NRO account as the linked bank account.
Submit the required documents, including:
- NRI-status PAN
- Overseas address proof
- FEMA declaration
- PIS letter, if applicable
- Send the physical forms to FYERS as instructed.
- Once approved, your NRI trading account will be activated and linked to your NRO account.
Important: Your PAN must be updated with NRI status, and this must reflect in the depository (CDSL) before you can initiate an NRI account with FYERS.
What if...
| Scenario | Solution |
|---|
| You already have a FYERS resident account | You must close the existing account and re-apply with updated NRI documents. |
| Your NRO account is not with HDFC or ICICI | You can still proceed. Your NRO account can be held with any scheduled Indian bank.
