Opening a broker account with Norma involves several straightforward steps:
Choose the Right Account: Decide whether you need a Norma, NRE, or NRO account based on your financial needs and residency status.
Open a Bank Account: Visit a designated bank branch approved by RBI to open your NRE or NRO account.
Obtain RBI Approval: After opening your NRE/NRO account, apply for general approval from the RBI to invest in the Indian stock market through your bank.
Get PIS Permission: Once you receive approval, you will obtain a Portfolio Investment Scheme (PIS) permission letter, allowing you to invest in the secondary market through a registered stock broker.
Open Trading/Demat Account: With the PIS permission letter, open a trading account with any registered stock broker and a demat account with a depository participant.
Funding Your Account: Transfer funds into your trading account to start investing. Ensure you specify whether you want to map your NRE PIS or NRO PIS account to your trading account.
By following these steps, clients can efficiently set up their trading accounts with Norma and begin their investment journey.
