Everything You Need to Learn About NRE & NRO Accounts in India

An NRI (Non-Resident Indian) who earns money in India and abroad frequently struggles to manage their finances. They also have trouble tracking down foreign bank accounts and even trying to transfer money back to their domestic account. NRE & NRO accounts are practically a boon in disguise for them.

An NRI is not permitted to open a savings account in India in their name under the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) regulations. All the savings (cash earned overseas) must be transferred to a Non-Resident External Account (NRE) or Non-Resident Ordinary (NRO) account.
