Sir Please kindly help me, I have a big doubt regarding FEMA law. I have a NRE and NRO from SBI and using it as salary account. I'm a going to sail for 6months for the very first time. I also have another educational loan linked savings account from IOB. Should I redesignate my IOB savings account too?

I completely agree with the last few statements. A dossier should be given to the NRIs to let them know of the FEMA laws and dos and donts. Otherwise how on earth would a normal citizen come to know of the complex FEMA laws?

Thank you Sir for bringing a video on FEMA. Awaiting its second part. May be the faculty can come a little more prepared about the questions.

Your healthy information to all NRI Residents is outstanding

Actually the Banking staff should guide the people when they indulge ignorantly such activities which are against FEMA law. Not sure like NRI/NRE communities, they are also unaware of this process😂

You are absolutely right.

As far as We all know , FEMA law is not known in the most of the NRI communities. So it’s useful video. Thanks

Very important information. Thank you,Sir.

I think it is the banks responsibility to make sure they do a background check before sanctioning the opening of a new account. I also think that Indian Immigration department should share certain section or information to the banking sector so whenever a person approach any local bank to open or operate an account or transaction the bank could also verify if the person is NRI or when the person entered India if more than 6 months or whatever the case may be.

Hello Sir this is a great knowledge and awareness session. It would be good if you can also provide details around investment in stock market and mutual funds and what is the position of fema law around it. Keep up the great work, thanks.

Thank you for valuable information. I was completely unaware of it.

There are a lot of Indian Citizens who are working as Laborers in Gulf Countries. When these people want to send money via Banks, the Govt will charge Higher Education Cess (which is a Tax), Surcharge etc. The Indian Banks gives them low exchange rate and earn profits. All these effects their (laborers) bottom line because they are working poor. On the other hand, if they choose Hawala Operators, they get better rates, no money deducted, cash handed at home (no bureaucracy). The Govt has hardly done anything to help these people, who work so hard, to support their families back home.

Government doesn't charge anything. Money can be transferred through exchange houses to the bank account at competitive rates. Havala and smuggling do give you benefit but they are illegal for a reason.

@DL : Sorry, I was not aware of this or maybe me and you are on different frequencies. When I transfer money from UAE to India through bank or currency exchange, no GST is ever charged irrespective of the amount. However you are right, there's a service charge by exchange houses, which ranges from INR 200 to 400 per transaction. Also, the rates are lower than the hawala rate because of obvious reasons. Hawala is illegal as it's used for money laundering etc.

This will simplify the discussion and it will be focused discussion. Also, please deal with "normal" issues and discuss separately exceptional or unusual or illegal issues separately.

Sir, as I understood from your video that as soon as we can we should redesignate our resident account to NRO account. When applying for the same in SBI bank, it needs an application form to be filled in with supporting documents like resident id card for residence status, tax certificate with tax identification number, cancelled cheque from present bank. All these documents needs time to acquire. So, on the mere basis of VISA, work permit or employment contract, it is difficult for someone who is going out of India for employment purpose to redesignate the resident account to NRO, before leaving India. UBI and SBI do not accept self attested documents too. In these circumstances, how someone should proceed to avoid FEMA law breach and open NRO account.

Please educate the local bank managers who didn't give much attention over the last many years.

thank you sir, for the information, Are there any restrictions below scenario ? - Transferring funds USD to NRO account - From NRO account to parents account to have property on parents names - From my savings account can I transfer funds to NRO.

Great video sir but you forgot to mention what the actual penalties are for violating the FEMA laws and regulations. For instance, I was mistakenly guided to open a resident account a couple years back and I am just learning now that it is a violation.

Most of the time bank employees are not educated on topic or they are negligent about performing their duties.

Borrowing and Lending ---> So to summarize, Although the money is hard earned by You, in actual sense, it still belongs to the government and law makers ! Maybe before becoming an NRI, one should take a break, learn and understand the FEMA law for a couple of years.

Question: I am a US Citizen & OCI had NRE & NRO account from 14 years ago.

I just realised I'm violating the FEMA Law.. However, it was unintentional from my part because neither my education system mentioned that there exists something like FEMA nor GOI handed out information when I traveled out of India.
