Introduction

India’s developing economy, with the potential for high investment returns, appeals to many non-resident Indians (NRIs). If, as an NRI, you are exploring the best investment avenues in India, please know that stocks may be the right choice. 

Stock market investments require careful evaluation of various factors, such as individual company performance, economic outlook, and market conditions. NRIs must maintain a diversified portfolio with investments in different sectors. You must pick companies with growth potential, resilience to economic fluctuations, and strong fundamentals. 

How can NRIs invest in the Indian stock market?

The Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) has formulated various rules for NRIs to invest in India. You must first apply for the Portfolio Investment Scheme (PIS) regulated by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). Then, you can use your Non-Resident Ordinary (NRO) account or open a Non-Resident External (NRE) account under PIS.
