Question

What is the difference between NRE& NRI account?

Answer 1

Under NRE [Non Resident (External) Rupee Account] accounts, funds can be repatriated whereas funds under NRO [Ordinary Non Resident Rupee Account] accounts are non repatriable. Yes, you need to have two separate trading accounts for investments with repatriation and non-repatriation basis. At the same time you also need to have two separate bank accounts respectively i.e. NRE and NRO account which would be linked with your trading account.
