Dear Knowledgeholder, I have a query regarding procedure for opening of a demat account in India from outside India in any Indian Bank. Please tell me whether it can be done online or does it need physical presence. Person needing demat account have an account in an nationalised bank too and he is Indian resident but currently residing out of India. Thanks a lot for your valueable suggestion(s) / comment(s) or idea(s) and for the time you took to reply my query. With Regards Dhiraj Kumar

Hi,

Any one can open a Demat account for trading in shares listed on Foreign Stock Exchanges. You can do it through Indian Nationalized or Private Sector banks also. But, as per FATCA and Indian RBI norms, you cannot invest more than $ 200,000 in a financial year.

Hope this helps !!!

Thanks and Regards,
