Default Are Foreign citizens of Indian origin eligible to invest in Indian Mfs?



According to AMFI foregin citizens of Indian origin are not allowed to invest in Indian MFs. But if they come to India and settle down in India; suppose a US citizen of Indian origin returns to India and starts working in India is such a person allowed to invest in Indian Mutual Funds?

Thank you for the response. Where did you check this information? If you don't mind if there is a source on internet for this information? This is very important for me I checked with AMFI association of mutual funds in India and their person said it is not allowed. But if it is then that is great!

The following benefits will accrue to an OCI:



(i) A multiple entry, multi-purpose lifelong visa for visiting India.



(ii) Exemption from registration with the local police authorities for any length of stay in India.



(iii) Parity with Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) in respect of economic, financial and educational fields, except in relation to acquisition of agricultural or plantation properties.



Any other benefits to OCIs will be notified by the Ministry of Overseas Indian Affairs (MOIA) under Section 7B(1) of the Citizenship Act, 1955.
