NRI stands for Non-Resident Indians. These people can choose between two options when opening a bank account in India. They will have to open either an NRE or an NRO account. Any NRI intent in opening a bank account at an Indian bank can utilize their knowledge of the differences between the two types. An NRE account is a Non-Resident External bank account that deals in rupees. It could be a savings, present or fixed deposit account. It is started by depositing money when they open. The transactions can either be notes or traveler’s checks. A Non-Resident Ordinary Account is the typical bank account, but it is opened by the Indian national whose ambition is to become a Non-Resident Indian. This account will give most of the services offered by the NRE account. An NRE account can be jointly opened by two NRI’s. However, a joint NRO needs one NRI and a resident.
