📘 What are Mutual Funds?

A mutual fund is a professionally managed investment vehicle that pools money from multiple investors to invest in equities, bonds, and other securities. The fund's value is determined by its Net Asset Value (NAV), calculated based on the market value of its holdings after deducting expenses. Mutual funds are ideal for investors looking for diversified, professionally managed investments without the need for extensive market research. With a wide range of schemes catering to various financial goals—retirement, education, home purchase, and more—mutual funds offer flexibility and growth potential.

✅ Can NRIs Invest in Mutual Funds in India?

Yes, Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) and Persons of Indian Origin (PIOs) can invest in Indian mutual funds on both a repatriation and non-repatriation basis. However, they must comply with regulations under the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) and complete their Know Your Customer (KYC) process before investing.

FEMA Compliance: As per FEMA Notification No. 13 (May 3, 2000), an NRI is an individual residing outside India who is a citizen of India.
Income Tax Act & Residential Status: According to the Income Tax Act, 1961, an individual is classified as a resident if they have stayed in India for 120 days or more in a financial year and at least 365 days in the preceding four years.
Restrictions for US & Canada NRIs: Due to FATCA compliance, some mutual fund houses impose restrictions. However, we have partnered with AMCs including Aditya Birla Sun Life Mutual Fund, Sundaram, Quant, Nippon India, UTI, and Navi that offer investment facilities for NRIs.
