ONI read your article
I have following questions :
1) PPF : can I continue to invest in PPF ?
As per RBI FAQ :http://www.rbi.org.in/scripts/FAQView.aspx?Id=52
Note : NRIs are not permitted to invest in small savings or Public Provident Fund (PPF).
It clearly says not permitted . Can you please point me to the literature which says we can .
2) Existing Savings accounts : Can I still maintain them ? I am having stocks which I don’t plan to sell for next 5-6 years and I get dividend from them.
Is it illegal to not inform banks to convert into NRO accounts ?

1. Actually the rule says that you cant OPEN AND INVEST in PPF if you are NRI , if you already have a PPF account, then you can surely continue investing in it untill it matures and then you can extend it .
2. As per what I know , your saving bank accounts get converted to NRO once you become NRI , but you have to surely share that with your bank .. please do it
