Resident Fixed deposits

Hi All,

If a person has India fixed deposit and when he becomes an nri,  does he have to convert the fixed deposits to nro deposits? Or the person will have to close the fixed deposits and then invest in nro deposits?

Thanks in advance.

Quick Summary
If you have a resident fixed deposit in India and become a Non-Resident Indian (NRI), you must convert your resident fixed deposits to NRO fixed deposits. Holding resident FDs as an NRI is not permitted under FCD regulations and can incur penalties. It's advisable to contact your bank promptly to arrange this conversion to avoid any issues.

As per the FRMA regulations , NRI Can not hold Resident FD , they must Convert Resident FD in to NRO FD . There is penalty if you do not get conversion done , so contact your Bank branch.

Thanks for the reply...

Well Come......
There are possible issues regarding the same.
