He also wants to know why some mutual funds don’t accept investments from NRIs in the US. To answer… First, Pandey and his family will be eligible to invest as persons of Indian origin (PIOs), and will therefore be eligible to invest in mutual funds. Second, small saving schemes and RBI Bonds are not available to NRIs for investing. Third, if the mutual fund is sponsored by an entity registered in the US, it cannot offer its products to US citizens without regulatory approvals.

I recently opened a Demat account and tried to buy SBI Gold ETF's couple of days back and got rejected saying NRI's couldn't invest on this ETF. Your advise would be appreciated.
