For investments within India (stocks, MFs, etc.), use NRE account for tax-free interest and full repatriation; use NRO for managing India-sourced funds but with tax on interest.
For investments outside India (foreign stocks/bonds), you need a foreign broker and a foreign bank account; such income is not taxed in India as long as you are an NRI.
Utilise DTAA to avoid double taxation on India-based investments.
If you need to optimize your setup or have complex sources of income, consult a cross-border tax professional to ensure compliance with RBI and tax laws in both India and your country of residence.
