Which AMCs Allow US and Canada NRIs to Invest in Indian Mutual Funds?
🔹 Many NRIs from the US and Canada face restrictions while investing in Indian mutual funds due to stringent FATCA regulations.
🔹 Not all AMCs accept investors from these jurisdictions, and declaration requirements vary significantly.
🔹 This post provides a clear, simplified list of AMCs that accept US/Canada NRIs, along with whether FATCA declarations must be physically submitted.
Only about half of India’s mutual fund houses currently support investors based in the US and Canada. While some AMCs allow only SIPs, others permit lumpsum investments as well. A few still require a physical FATCA form, making compliance essential for NRIs planning cross-border investments.
🔹 Only ~50% of Indian AMCs currently accept US/Canada NRIs.
🔹 Tata MF & Mahindra Manulife MF allow lumpsum investment options.
🔹 Many AMCs still require a physical FATCA declaration (non-digital).
🔹 Investment access varies AMC-to-AMC, so investors must verify before initiating transactions.
