How Can Hong Kong-Based NRIs Invest in Mutual Funds in India?

Updated on January 26, 2026 , 2250 views

Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) living in Hong Kong can benefit from a growing home Economy by Investing in Mutual Funds in India. Since, the time there were headlines of India announced as the sixth largest economy in the World and that put France behind, it caught many NRIs investors’ attention.

Traditionally, Non-Resident Indians have been more comfortable investing in Real Estate in India. But, the growing economy of India has broadened the investment choices for them, especially mutual funds.

NRIs most often prefer investing in mutual funds for two main reasons- one is as they can indirectly participate in stocks via equities and the other is they can earn more returns than Bank savings accounts for a short-term by investing in debt funds. Mutual funds are also a great option for Portfolio diversification. As MFs invest in multiple securities this diversifies the risk.

Mutual-Funds-For-Hong-KongBased-NRIs

Mutual Fund Investment for NRIs Living in Hong Kong

To invest in Mutual Funds in India one is supposed to open any of the following accounts with an Indian bank:

NRE Account

This is Non-Resident External (NRE) account which can be in the form of savings, current, fixed or Recurring deposit. You need to deposit the foreign currency in this account. To be able to deposit Indian currency, you must open NRO account. There is no upper limit on the transaction amount in an NRE account.

NRO Account

The NRO or Non-Resident Ordinary account is in the form of savings or current account that is meant for NRIs to manage their Income earned in India. In NRO account, foreign currency gets converted into Indian rupees after it gets deposited. An NRO account can be held jointly with another NRI as well as resident Indian (close relatives).

FCNR Account

This stands for Foreign Currency Non-Repatriable account deposits. In this account, NRIs can remit their Earnings in one of the six currencies such as Canadian $, US$, Euro, AU$, Yen, and Pound. Funds can be transferred from other FCNR or NRE accounts. In FCNR, the principal and interest don’t accrue any tax.

Once you open any of these accounts, you need successfully complete your KYC (Know Your Customer), under KYC norms, which is set by SEBI (Securities Exchange Board of India). One can complete their KYC with any of the SEBI-registered intermediates.

KYC Procedure for Hong Kong NRIs to Invest in Mutual Funds

To successfully complete your KYC procedure, Hong Kong NRIs need to complete certain important steps and furnish documents like:

a. KYC Form

An NRI needs to submit the KYC Form with all the necessary details filled to the SEBI registered intermediate. The documents can be sent by courier/post to the intermediate.

b. Documents

  • Overseas address proof
  • Indian resident address proof
  • A recent photograph
  • Passport copy

c. Attestation
