It is always advisable to invest in your home country.&nbsp;&nbsp;<em>Before investing in Indian Market, an NRI should keep some points in mind:<\/em><strong>Types of Accounts:<\/strong><em>There are two types of accounts that an NRI must know before making any investments:<\/em><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong><em>NRE Accoun<\/em><em>t:<\/em><\/strong><\/span> NRE account stands for Non -Resident External account, it is an account where the foreign currencies are converted into Indian money. It is a Rupee denominated account. The funds can be savings, current or a fixed term deposit account. The funds in NRE are freely repatriated.<em><strong>NRO Account:<\/strong> <\/em>NRO account stands for Non Resident Ordinary account; it is also a Rupee denominated account. This account is useful when you want to transfer Indian earnings through an account. An NRO account should only contain funds received from within India. The NRO account can be converted into a regular resident account. You get 30% rate of interest at source in respect to tax deduction.<strong>Taxation:<\/strong><em>An NRI needs to know all the rules regarding to different sources of income.<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Any income that is received in or arises or accrues in India is taxable for an NRI.<\/li>\n<li>Any income that is received in or arises or accrues outside India is not taxable.<\/li>\n<li>More than 65% of assets are invested in equities in case of dividends declared by mutual funds you are investing.<\/li>\n<li>Dividends declared by debt-ridden mutual funds where less than 65% assets are invested in equities are also tax-free.<\/li>\n<li>A short capital asset is any mutual fund unit which is held less than a year. The short term profits are taxed on 15% of gains.<\/li>\n<li>If you sell off the debt ridden mutual fund within a year then the tax is charged as per the slab rules for individuals. if it is sold after or more than a year later, then the redemption for the gains is tax free and they are termed as long term capital gains.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Evaluate each NRI investment avenue:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>First you have to decide that where you want to invest. You need to take a proper decision. Evaluate each investment option before taking the final step.<\/li>\n<li>You can make direct investments into equities. You need to consider the time limits of investment.<\/li>\n<li>If you are investing in mutual funds, make sure that you know all the fund house rules.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It is always good to invest inReal estate as you are guaranteed with high price appreciation in the prime cities.<span style=\"left:100%;display:inline-block;position:fixed\"><a href=\"http:\/\/rusbankinfo.ru\/\">\u0437\u0430\u0439\u043c \u043d\u0430 \u043a\u0430\u0440\u0442\u0443 \u0431\u0435\u0437 \u043e\u0442\u043a\u0430\u0437\u043e\u0432 \u043a\u0440\u0443\u0433\u043b\u043e\u0441\u0443\u0442\u043e\u0447\u043d\u043e<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/rusbankinfo.ru\/credits.html\">\u0432\u0437\u044f\u0442\u044c \u043a\u0440\u0435\u0434\u0438\u0442 \u043e\u043d\u043b\u0430\u0439\u043d<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Non Resident Indian (NRI) should know certain things before investing in Indian market.\u00a0 As compared to other countries\u2019 economies, India has maintained its stability but still has emerged as a gainful destination for investment.
