What to do if you haven't traded in your NRE or NRO account after opening it with FYERS?
If you’ve opened an NRE or NRO account with FYERS but haven’t executed any trades within 90 calendar days, your account may be marked as 'Inactive'. This classification is part of routine compliance measures to ensure regulatory adherence and account hygiene.
Why activity is important?
- FYERS is required to monitor dormant accounts under SEBI and exchange guidelines.
- A trading account left unused beyond 90 days from activation can be automatically deactivated as a risk and security control.
Consequences of inactivity
- You will lose access to place fresh trades on FYERS platforms.
- To reactivate the account, you must reinitiate the KYC revalidation process, including fresh documentation and IPV (In-Person Verification), as applicable.
What if...
| Scenario | What you should know |
|---|
| You were unable to trade due to delayed fund transfers | Fund your NRO account promptly and place at least one trade to avoid deactivation |
| Your account is already marked inactive | Contact us to initiate the KYC reactivation process |
| You don’t plan to trade in the near term | FYERS recommends placing a nominal trade or notifying Support to maintain account validity |
Even a single completed trade within the first 90 days ensures your account stays active. If you foresee a delay in usage, consider informing us in advance.
