NRI BANKING
With a view to attract the savings and other remittance into India through
banking channels from the person of Indian Nationality / Origin who are
residing abroad and bolster the balance of payment position, the Government
of India introduced in 1970 Non-Resident(External) Account Rules which are
governed by the Exchange Control Regulations. The funds held in Non-
Resident (External) Accounts (NRE Accounts) qualify for certain benefits like
exemptions from taxes in India, free repatriation facilities, etc.

The Act also lays down that such a person will continue to
be an NRI during his visit/stay in India provided he has not
returned to India for taking up employment or carrying on
business or vacation or any other circumstances as would
indicate his intention to stay in India for an uncertain period.
Accordingly, an NRI settled abroad, irrespective of the number
of days stay in India will continue to be an NRI during his
visit to India provided he has not returned to India for
permanent settlement.
