Would a RNOR (Resident but Not Ordinarily Resident) open a regular savings account or NRO account?
26 October 2024
Yes, an RNOR (Resident but Not Ordinarily Resident) individual can open a regular savings account or an NRO (Non-Resident Ordinary) account.

Thank you for kindly replying. Under FEMA there is no concept of RNOR - a person is either a resident or non-resident. Under FEMA, a resident can hold regular savings account, a non-resident can hold NRO/NRE account. Sir, what is the basis of your conclusion (please cite the rule) that an RNOR has the option of opening an NRO account?

Thank you, sir. Can you please also confirm that Nepal or Bhutan based NRIs must hold regular resident accounts in India and not NRO accounts?
