Non-Resident Ordinary (NRO) Account
This a bank account that allows NRIs to deposit and manage income they earn in India. NRIs can open this type of account either singly or jointly with another NRI or resident Indian. The investment made from an NRO account will be considered as Supply of Service as per GST Regulations and the premium will be liable for GST.
Non-Resident External (NRE) Account
This is a type of bank account for NRIs where foreign currency earnings from the country of residence can be deposited in India. This type of account allows joint holding comprising two NRI account holders. An NRE account allows NRIs to easily deposit foreign currency and withdraw in Indian rupees at a later date. The premium invested from an NRE Account will be considered as Export of Service and GST will be waived off if the required documents are submitted.
