Your Demat Account will directly relate to your residential status:
- If you’re completing the stipulated number of days outside India (184 days or more in one financial year) then you’ll be required to open an NRI Demat Account.
- If you’re not an NRI as per the stipulated number of days (i.e. if you’re staying 184 days or more in India), then you’ll have to open a Resident Demat Account.
For example, if you were an NRI in 2019-20 then you’ll have to open an NRI Demat Account.
