Interest and maturity proceeds of Government securities including National Plan/Savings Certificate, sale proceeds of Government securities sold on Stock Exchanges as well as dividend on Units of UTI and repurchase proceeds thereof may be credited by authorised dealers to the NRO accounts of non-resident investors without reference to Reserve Bank. As far as credits of such funds to NRE/FCNR accounts are concerned, powers of authorised dealers are restricted to cases where the original investment was made by remittances from abroad or by debit to the NRE/FCNR accounts maintained by non-resident investors. In the case of Units purchased directly from UTI, authorised dealers may credit the dividends/repurchase proceeds to the investors NRE/FCNR account or make remittance to the investor abroad only if the payment is received from UTI with a confirmation that the investment in those units was made out of funds received from abroad in an approved manner or by debit to NRE/FCNR account of the unit holder. In all other cases, dividend/repurchase proceeds should be credited to NRO accounts.

Note: See paragraph 10C 24A regarding repatriation of income/interest earned during the financial year 1994-95 and onwards.
