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.
