Can NRIs trade in both equity delivery and F&O with a same account?
Yes, Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) can trade in both Equity Delivery and Futures & Options (F&O) using a single NRO Non-PIS (Non-Portfolio Investment Scheme) account at FYERS. This setup eliminates the need to maintain multiple accounts for different trading segments and is compliant with RBI and SEBI guidelines.
Why use a single NRO Non-PIS sccount?
- Unified trading: Access both delivery-based equity investments and F&O positions through one account.
- Regulatory compliance: Fully aligned with FEMA rules for NRI trading.
- Simplified operations: Centralised fund management and reduced paperwork.
What if...
| Scenario | What you should know |
|---|
| You currently have a PIS account | PIS accounts do not support F&O. You’ll need to open an NRO Non-PIS account for combined access |
| You want to add F&O access later | We can assist you with CP code issuance and custodial setup when you're ready |
| You're not sure which setup is best | We can help evaluate your goals and recommend the correct account type |
Once your NRO Non-PIS account is set up, you can request F&O access by generating a CP code through FYERS’ partner custodian, Orbis Financial.
