Presently, Nationals of Bangladesh are permitted to open Non-Resident Ordinary (NRO) accounts in India only after obtaining RBI approval.

This circular permits Nationals of Bangladesh who hold a valid visa and a valid residential permit issued by Foreigner Registration Office (FRO) / Foreigner Regional Registration Office (FRRO) concerned to open a NRO account without obtaining RBI permission. However, entities of Bangladeshi ownership will continue to require RBI permission for opening Bank accounts in India.
