Quick Summary

Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) can indeed open Demat accounts in India to invest and trade in the share market. SEBI regulations mandate Demat accounts for NRIs engaging in stock market activities. It's important to be aware of and comply with relevant income tax regulations concerning your income sources and capital gains from these transactions.

NRIs can hold Demat accounts in India. To elaborate further, SEBI regulations dictate that for NRIs as well, it's mandatory to hold Demat accounts to trade in the stock markets. So, with regards to India, non-residents can also open Demat accounts to trade in the financial markets.
