How long does it take to convert my FYERS account to an NRO Non-PIS account?
If you're transitioning from a resident account to an NRO Non-PIS account with FYERS, the process typically takes between 7 to 10 business days. This timeline may vary slightly depending on the completeness of your documents and your KYC verification status.
Factors affecting the conversion timeline
- KYC verification:
If your KYC is already updated with NRI documentation, the conversion may proceed faster. - Documentation accuracy:
Delays can occur if submitted forms, proof of NRO bank account, or supporting documents are incomplete or contain discrepancies. - Third-party coordination:
Processing time also involves coordination between FYERS, depository participants (CDSL), and banks.
