Alongwith this term, two terms that are commonly referred are 'PIO' and 'OCI'. Under Notification Nos. 20(R) and 21(R), PIOs are not considered to be a specific category. They are subsumed under 'OCI'. Therefore, erstwhile PIO cardholders will now be required to obtain OCI card to be eligible to invest under the above notifications.

Such investment is deemed to be domestic investment at par with investment made by residents.

The investment will be a non-repatriable investment governed by Schedule 4 of Notification No. 20(R). 4.

However, acquisition of agricultural land, farm house or plantation property is not allowed. Mode of Payment: (i) Inward remittance from outside India or (ii) Funds held in NRO/NRE/FCNR accounts.

This restriction shall not apply to OCIs. Repatriation of Sale Proceeds:On sale of such immovable property, repatriation outside India will be permitted if the amount for acquisition of the immovable property was paid in foreign exchange received through banking channels or out of funds held in FCNR/NRE account. In case of residential property, the repatriation of sale proceeds is restricted to two such properties. Rental Income:Such property can also be let out and the rental income can be credited to the NRO/NRE A/c. 3. Continuation of Public Provident Fund Account NRIs are not eligible to open a new PPF account. However, a resident Indian who subsequently becomes an NRI can continue to hold the existing PPF account till first maturity. According to the Notification issued by the Government on , PPF and NSCs held by an NRI would be treated as "deemed to be closed with effect from the day he becomes a non-resident" and would earn interest rate of a post office savings account. However, an Office Memorandum dated was later issued, keeping the said notification in abeyance till further notice for PPF account held by NRIs. Interestingly, the said memorandum is silent on NSCs. PREREQUISITES BEFORE INVESTING One may note that NRIs do have a plenty of opportunities to invest in India. However, it is equally important to note certain prerequisites which are required before actually venturing into any investment activity: PAN OCI Card Designated NRO/NRE for putting through the banking transactions d) Demat Account for investing in shares e) Tax Residency Certificateand Form 10F for beneficial treatment under Indian tax regime f) Duly executed Power of Attorney specifying clearly the powers delegated g) Compliance with KYC norms of various authorities h) Valid identity and address proof Apart from the above procedural aspects, one has to bear in mind various regulatory aspects based on the nature of investment such as repatriation or non-repatriation, mode of investment such as capital instruments, debt instruments or properties, terms and conditions applicable to each mode of investment, mode of acquisition such purchase, gift, inheritance as well as transfer of such investments, restrictions of powers under Power of Attorney as well as implications on holding and reporting of the investments upon change of residential status. Compliance is an important aspect to be looked into as defaults may result into penalties and compounding under FEMA and other laws. CONCLUSION Considering the economic development India is going through, it is very well going to be an investment hub for investors around the globe. NRIs do enjoy a privileged position for investing in India as compared to foreign investors. Having said that, one has to analyse the risk-reward ratioand the viability of that avenue before investing.one may also note that more and more countries are now trying to regulate investments through the Exchange of Information mechanism. These investments are also subject to multiple compliance from the host country as well as from India and therefore, due care of the interplay between various regulations such as FEMA, Income tax, Company law should be taken to make the investments in India hasslefree and compliant. 20
