A Bank Benefits For The NRIs

Wednesday, August 18th, 2010

The Indian Banks provide various benefits to the NRIs based all over the globe. The advantage of having a bank account for Indians based abroad is just not limited to providing a safe place to store their earned money, it also gives other benefits of easy access anywhere anytime which otherwise at times is limited in case of other banks.

At times it gets a little difficult to go about a banking requirement when one is travelling for a business meeting and other office work. With banks placed in other countries it gets a little irksome to manage and enjoy liquidity, especially for the NRIs who travel a lot in and out of India, it is because of the primary reason that the benefits of banking for NRIs in some banks are limited.

In addition to this obtaining a loan and financing elsewhere becomes easier and effective for this class of the society. Before any financing aid given by a bank to an NRI his ability to pay is checked, more money in the account makes it more likely to be approved for financing. This is a little difficult to achieve when one is travelling abroad.

Indian Government introduced Non-Resident (External) Account Rules in 1970 which are governed by the Exchange Control Regulations. This ECR attracts the various types of savings and remittance into India through many banking channels by the Indian Nationality person or origin who are based in states. The cash reserve held in NRE Accounts, qualify for certain benefits. These benefits can be listed as, exemptions from taxes in India, reatriation facilities which are given for free to the NRIs etc.

Various types of accounts exist to benefit the NRIs, and give them the liberty to choose according to their convenience. These are of three main types, first is NRE, mentioned earlier, this can be in the form of Saving, Current or fixed deposits in Indian rupees. The funds in this account are fully repatriable, which means ability of an asset to be moved from a foreign country back to an investor’s home country.

Second type is known as NRO, stands for Nonresident Ordinary Accounts, it’s just like NRE the only difference being that this is not repatriable. Third main account is FCNR which stands for Foreign Currency Non Resident Accounts, which can be in the form of fixed deposits only in the five major currencies, namely US Dollars, GBP, DM, Euro, and Japanese Yen. The funds in this are fully repatriable.

Most of the banks offer all these benefits to the NRI, one widely used is Reliance Money, which is a company started by the Reliance Group of Companies. This company offers the above mentioned facilities. The NRI clients with accounts in Reliance Money can place orders using any of these platforms - easy trade, insta trade & fast trade.
