What documents are required to open or convert to an NRO Non-PIS account?

To open a new NRO Non-PIS account with FYERS or convert an existing trading and Demat account after becoming an NRI, you’ll need to submit a set of KYC and banking documents. These documents confirm your non-resident status and are required to comply with FEMA regulations.

Required documents

Make sure each document is clearly scanned, valid, and self-attested. The following are mandatory:

Passport-sized photographJPEG format preferred

Document submission guidelines

  • Ensure all documents are self-attested
  • Upload clear, legible files as per the onboarding instructions
  • Register your details on the FYERS sign-up page to begin the NRO Non-PIS account setup or conversion process
It’s recommended to open your NRO bank account before initiating the FYERS account conversion to avoid processing delays.
