Updated on January 25, 2026 , 11764 views

Non-Resident Indians living in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) can invest in Mutual Funds in India on both repatriate and non-repatriate basis. Mutual Funds are a good investment option for Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) to earn benefits and participate in the growth of the nation.

NRIs living in UAE can invest in a host of mutual fund schemes as per their investment objectives. Also, one who wants to diversify the investment Portfolio and earn optimal returns over the time, mutual funds are a great option to consider.

According to a survey titled 'The NRIs' Investment Inflows into India - A Pulse Study' stated that UAE-based NRIs are expected to increase their investment inflows into India after the upcoming general elections. With significant economic clout, the United Arab Emirate’s sizable Indian community can be seen as a natural source for inward investments into India as most make investments. One of the main reasons for investment is to plan for retirement in their home country.

The survey also says that Non-Resident Indian (NRI) investments were spread across a wide range of asset classes. Some of them are long-term Investment plan (30%), formally constituted retirement plans (26%) and government-backed infrastructure funds (15%), etc.

However, there are some of the important guidelines & rules that an UAE-based NRI need to follow in order to begin their investment in Mutual Funds in India.
