Yes, the repatriation of funds in the NRE Account can be done easily. Funds in the NRE accounts of NRIs (both principal amount and the interest earned on the deposit) are fully and freely repatriable outside India.

 

What is Repatriation?

Repatriation refers to the transfer of funds (both principal amount and the interest earned on the deposit) from any of the NRI Accounts [NRE/NRO/FCNR (B)] from India to the overseas bank account of the NRI in his/her country of residence.

 

The process of repatriation of funds from India to abroad through your NRI Accounts are:
