Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) are the common term for Indians living overseas. The Foreign Exchange Management Act of 1999 and the Income-tax Act of 1961 both define NRI status legally for the purposes of their respective applicability.
At Money Making MC, we ensure that Non-Resident Indians (NRIs), Persons of Indian Origin (PIOs), and Overseas Citizens of India (OCIs) can confidently invest in mutual funds in India, provided they comply with the guidelines of the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA).
Depending on their financial goals and risk appetite, NRIs can choose to invest in debt funds, equity funds, or hybrid funds. To get started, it’s essential for NRIs to register with a Registered Transfer Agent (RTA).
Our team at Money Making MC offers end-to-end support through leading digital platforms and wealth management services to simplify KYC processes and ensure a smooth, hassle-free investment experience for NRIs.
What steps an NRI needs to take to start investing in the Indian Stock Market?
In order to start investing, an NRI should open a new bank account with a designated bank that has been approved by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) for this purpose. The account can be NRE (Non-Resident External), NRO (Non-Resident Ordinary), or both. These accounts enable the efficient transfer of payments in accordance with FEMA guidelines.
