Back to Top of Index Question-18: Can funds in NRE/NRO accounts be repatriated outside India ?
Funds held in NRE accounts can be repatriated abroad freely. Funds held in NRO accounts which would generally be from a local source cannot ordinarily be repatriated outside India. Interest earned on funds in NRO account during the financial year 1994-95 and onwards can, however, be remitted to the extent permitted by Reserve Bank (See Answers to Questions 55 & 56).
