What If
| Scenario | Solution |
|---|
| You want to use an NRE account instead | FYERS currently supports NRO account linkage only. NRE accounts are not permitted for this setup. |
| You already have a FYERS account | You’ll need to close the existing resident account and reapply as an NRI with correct documentation. |
| Your NRO account is with a bank not supported by FYERS | Ensure the NRO account is with a supported bank (e.g., HDFC, ICICI) to proceed. You may need to open a new NRO account if required. |
Always ensure your PAN is tagged as NRI and the status is updated with the depository (CDSL) before initiating the NRI onboarding process.
