How long does it take to convert a FYERS account to an NRO Non-PIS account?
If you're changing your FYERS account from resident status to an NRO Non-PIS account, the process typically takes 7–10 business days. The exact timeline depends on the completeness of the documents, KYC verification, and coordination with external entities, such as banks and depository participants.
Factors affecting the conversion timeline
- KYC verification – Faster if your KYC is already updated with NRI documentation.
- Documentation accuracy – Delays occur when forms or proofs (e.g., NRO bank statement) are incomplete or have discrepancies.
- Third-party coordination – Processing involves FYERS, the depository (CDSL), and your bank.
Steps to initiate conversion
- Visit the FYERS NRI account page.
- Fill out the NRO conversion request form.
- Upload all required documents (passport, visa, OCI/PIO card, NRO bank proof, etc.).
- Await confirmation and Demat migration from FYERS.
You can track the status of your conversion request via email updates from FYERS. Keep your contact details up to date during the registration process.
