NRE / NRO / FCNR Accounts

The right account structure changes everything. Most NRIs hold the wrong mix of accounts — paying unnecessary TDS, missing repatriation opportunities, or keeping money in low-yield instruments. We help you design an optimal NRI banking structure from day one.

FAQ

The questions clients actually ask.

Can I convert my existing savings account to NRO?
Yes. Once you become an NRI, your resident savings account must be redesignated as an NRO account. We help manage this transition.
Is NRE interest really tax-free?
Yes — NRE account interest is fully exempt from Indian income tax under Section 10(4) of the Income Tax Act, as long as you maintain NRI status.
What is the repatriation limit from NRO?
You can repatriate up to USD 1 million per financial year from NRO accounts after paying applicable taxes and submitting Form 15CA/15CB.
