NRI (Non-Residents India) traders often finds it difficult to participate and trade in Indian stock market because of various reasons.The main reason among all is lack of awareness about NRI trading and complications associated with NRE and NRO accounts. Pehla trade understand this need of traders and facilitates NRI trading to citizens residing outside India.NRI's are free to trade in equity, commodity, ETF's, futures and options but not in currency.


To trade in Indian stock market , RBI has made it mandatory to open a NRI trading account with any institution which is authorized by RBI itself. Investors can open either NRE or NRO accounts to begin their investment. Following are some difference between NRE and NRO trading account:

1)Any NRI can open NRE account and they may repatriate all capital and interest earned by them at any point of time. They also do not need to pay any tax, however the case with NRO account holders is quite different. Here account holders can repatriate only up to $1 million in a year which includes principle and interest as well.

2) Tax implications on both types of account is different.NRE accounts are tax free whereas NRO accounts are not.

3) NRE account can be held jointly with another NRI but not with India citizen. NRO account can be held jointly with NRI and Indian citizen both.
