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.
