How can I invest in the Indian stock market as an NRI?

NRIs can invest in the Indian stock market by opening an NRE or NRO Bank Account, an NRI Demat Account, and an NRI Trading Account with a registered broker.

The process is simple:

  • Open an NRE (repatriable) or NRO (non-repatriable) bank account.
  • Open an NRI Demat and Trading Account.
  • Complete KYC and account activation formalities.
  • Transfer funds to the linked bank account.
  • Place buy and sell orders through the broker's trading platform.
  • Shares purchased are credited to the Demat Account after settlement.

NRIs can invest in equity shares, IPOs, mutual funds, ETFs, bonds, REITs, InvITs, and other permitted securities, subject to RBI, FEMA, and SEBI regulations.
