Can NRIs open an Angel One account?

By PriyaSahu

Yes, NRIs can open an Angel One account by following a few important steps. Angel One offers NRI Trading and Demat account services under RBI guidelines. NRIs can invest in the Indian stock market using either NRE or NRO accounts linked with PIS (Portfolio Investment Scheme). The process is mostly offline, and you will need to provide a few documents like passport, PAN card, and PIS letter. With this account, NRIs can trade in equity delivery and F&O (Futures & Options). However, intraday trading, commodity, currency, and mutual fund investment options are not available for NRI accounts on Angel One. This setup allows NRIs to invest in Indian markets easily from abroad and benefit from India’s economic growth.
