Investing in the Indian financial markets requires you to open a Demat account. A Demat account acts as a repository that can electronically store all your financial securities. Investors must choose between the different types of Demat accounts before making any investments. NRIs have the option to select between repatriable and non-repatriable Demat accounts. A repatriable Demat account is a facility that helps NRIs to invest in the Indian financial markets and allows NRIs to transfer funds overseas. Individuals seeking to open repatriable Demat accounts must comply with the regulations laid out by Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA). Repatriable account holders must link their NRE (non-resident external) accounts with their Demat accounts. On the other hand, a non-repatriable Demat account prohibits NRIs from transferring funds abroad. Repatriable and non-repatriable investments require separate Demat accounts.
Indian citizens willing to trade in the stock markets are offered regular Demat accounts. Investors eager to trade in shares must open a regular Demat account from any SEBI registered broker. As investors purchase shares, they get digitally stored in the Demat account. Maintaining such accounts helps investors make quick transactions and transfer shares to other institutions. However, investors seeking to trade in futures and options are not required to hold a regular Demat account since these come with a specific expiry date. The depositories manage the functioning of a regular Demat account. However, it is the responsibility of the depository participants, also known as the stockbrokers, to manage the facilities, such as account opening and maintenance.
Recently, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) launched a new Demat account known as Basic Services Demat Account (BSDA). The functionality of a BSDA is no different from a regular Demat account but comes with lower account maintenance charges. The BSDA was introduced for financial inclusion and to support investors seeking to invest in the financial markets.
Here is a list of the critical features of NRI repatriable Demat accounts:
