An NRE (Non-Resident External Account) account is a type of account that lets the NRIs transfer their foreign currency earnings to India. It is a rupee-denominated account with no limits on transferring funds to and from India. NRIs use an NRE account to invest their foreign incomes in India. An NRE account is the preferred choice of NRIs for remittances. NRIs generally do remittances to take care of family responsibilities.
An NRE account is a savings bank account which can also be used to make fixed deposits. Moreover, the interest earned is also wholly tax-free and fully repatriable. An NRI can deposit their current Indian incomes (rent, interest, dividends, etc.) in their NRE account. However, there are restrictions on the deposit of sale proceeds of assets to an NRE bank account. An NRI can manage this account from anywhere in the world through Net Banking. An NRE account is exposed to exchange rate fluctuations. An NRI can open an NRE account individually or jointly (only with an NRI).
Remittances: Remittance is one of the key reasons why an NRI uses an NRE account. NRIs can transfer their foreign earnings to the NRE account with ease. An NRI can transfer money to this account in foreign currency from their foreign bank account, which will automatically get converted into Indian Rupee. The NRIs mostly use this account to take care of their responsibilities for their families back in India.
Investment: An NRE account is also beneficial to NRIs when it comes to investments. Since there are no limits on the repatriation of the funds back to the foreign bank accounts, it lets the NRIs invest in India to their full potential. NRIs can choose to invest in Indian Stock Markets, Mutual Funds, Portfolio Management Services, Bonds, etc. It can be used to invest directly in the equity markets (Mutual Funds & Stocks) on fulfillment of certain conditions.
Repatriation: There are no limits on the repatriation of funds in an NRE account. An NRI can therefore transfer any amount to and from this account to their foreign account without any limitations. In contrast, an NRO account has a $1 million limit on repatriation of the funds.
