Best 3-in-1 NRI Trading Account
3-in-1 NRI account is more than a brokerage account. It offers you a unique 3-in-1 feature, which integrates your NRI Brokerage Account, NRI Bank Accounts (NRE or NRO), and one or more NRI Demat accounts. This means that you can buy and sell shares without any hassles of settlements. Transfers of shares from/to your Demat account and transfer of money from/to your Bank account take place automatically with no paperwork. Some Brokers offers these accounts as 4-in-1 accounts as it includes 2 bank accounts; NRE and NRO for repatriable and non-repatriable investments.
3-in-1 NRI account is normally offered by banks who are in the stockbroking field as well like ICICI, HDFC, Axis, SBI, etc.
Other Brokers (full-service and discount stock) normally offer NRI 2-in-1 account (trading + demat account). Some of them also have tie-ups with certain banks wherein they help you open bank accounts and link them to their trading and demat accounts.
