Mutual Funds are good investment options for Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) to earn benefits and participate in the growth of the nation. NRIs can invest in a host of Mutual Fund schemes as per their Financial goals and objectives. Mutual Funds are a great option to diversify the investment Portfolio and earn optimal returns over the time.

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).

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.
