You may no longer have a regular savings account in India after you announce your Non-Resident Indian (NRI) status. Rather, you have to register an NRI account or convert your existing one.
For such NRIs, a Non-Resident Ordinary (NRO) account is a popular way to manage their deposits or income earned in India, such as dividends, pensions, rent, etc. This account allows you to receive funds in either Indian or a foreign currency.
