An NRE Demat Account should be linked with NRE Bank Account (PIS or Non-PIS).

An NRO Demat Account should be linked with NRO Bank Account (Non-PIS) for non-repatriable transactions.

An NRI has to maintain a separate Demat account on repatriable and non-repatriable basis. Both the accounts can be opened with the same broker but linked to different bank accounts (NRE and NRO).

When it comes to an NRE account, your Demat account must be under PIS (Portfolio Investment Scheme). For an NRO account, you do not need to follow PIS rules.

Check NRE Vs NRO Account for differences between these two accounts.

Type of Account for NRI
