I am a CPA and a NRI. I used to have a NRI account with Citibank. Initially, I found this to be useful for sending money to family and friends at short notice. I eventually closed it due to the great difficulty in transacting business through their web site and poor customer service. I was in Delhi a few years ago and wrote a INR check for some services and the band rejected the check for no reason. Another time, I tried to cash a INR check at a branch in Hyderabad and they refused to cash it claiming the signature did not match even though I had my US passport. Finally, I found the supposed interest advantage of investig in India vanished due to the currency exchange rates they used. My advice is don’t open a NRI bank account unless you are planning to return to India.
