Good to Know
Common mistakes and important notes
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Investing through a resident bank account instead of the correct NRE or NRO account
- Assuming all mutual funds are open to NRIs, some fund houses restrict specific countries
- Not confirming repatriation conditions before locking funds into an investment
- Relying on advice that does not account for your specific country of residence
Important Notes
- Certain countries such as the US and Canada have additional compliance requirements for some Indian mutual funds
- NRE account funds are generally freely repatriable, NRO funds have more conditions
- FCNR deposits let you invest in foreign currency, avoiding currency conversion risk on interest
- Always confirm your specific fund or scheme allows NRI investment before applying

Case Study
A real-world example
An NRI in Singapore wanted to invest a lump sum in Indian mutual funds but found several fund houses declined applications from investors based in his country due to regulatory restrictions there. We identified the specific fund houses that do accept his country of residence, structured the investment through his NRE account for full repatriability, and set up a periodic portfolio review.
