Bank Power 2002-2025 Form

Convert your bank savings account into an NRO accountWhy: Because the Reserve Bank of India says so in its circular: RBI/2007-2008/242 Master Circular No. 03 /2007- 08.What is an NRO account: An NRO account is like your regular bank savings account but has certain restrictions. In this account you can deposit your rupee earnings from India such as rent, interest, dividends etc. You can also deposit funds from abroad that are in the form of freely convertible foreign currency. You can issue cheques for all local payments, EMIs or investments through this account.Repatriation: You can repatriate (that is transfer to a bank account outside India) all current income such as rent, interest, dividends etc that you earned in India. Apart from that, if you made any capital account transactions like sale of property or investments, and if you got the sale proceeds in the NRO account, you can repatriate up to $1 million per calendar year. However, you would need to produce a certificate from your chartered accountant declaring that all taxes on the funds have been paid. Only then will the banker permit the repatriation.Interest rates and taxabilityInterest rates and taxability: The interest will be the similar to the interest on a regular savings bank account, that is, around 3%. The interest will be taxable and tax will be deducted at source at the rate of 30.9%.How to convert: Visit your bank branch and fill up the required forms. You would need to submit two photographs, a copy of your passport and copy of your visa.Already moved abroad? If you have already moved abroad without completing this formality, you can get copies of all your documents attested by the Indian Embassy or Notary and send them to the branch.2. Close your existing demat account, open an NRO demat account and open a new demat under PINSWhy: Sandeep Shanbhag, Director, Wonderland Investments and an expert on NRI matters explains, "An NRI has certain restrictions when it comes to investing in Indian equities. For instance, an NRI cannot invest more than 5% in the paid up capital of an Indian company. In order to keep track of these restrictions, the RBI requires you to make these changes in your demat accounts."For your existing shares: As an NRI you cannot continue to operate your regular demat account. Your existing demat account, which holds shares that you purchased while you were a resident Indian, will have to be closed and you would need to transfer the shares to an NRO demat account.You can continue to hold these shares or sell them. If you sell them, the proceeds are credited to the NRO savings account and there are restrictions on repatriation. That is, you can repatriate up to USD 1 million per calendar year (including all other capital account remittances) but you would need a certificate from your chartered accountant as mentioned earlier.For buying shares as an NRIFor buying shares as an NRI: If you want to buy shares as an NRI, you would need to open a demat account under the Portfolio Investment Scheme (PINS). In this demat, you can buy shares with funds in your NRE account and sale proceeds can be credited to NRE account for repatriation. If you choose to buy the shares on non-repatriable basis, then, the proceeds will be credited to the NRO account.You must maintain two separate demat accounts for repatriable and non-repatriable shares. Recently, the RBI also specified that an NRE must have a separate account linked to the PINS demat account. It cannot be the NRO or NRE account through which other routine transactions are conducted. Once you become a resident again, you must close the PINS account.How to do this: Your demat service provider will be able to help you with all of the above. You would need to submit documents such as passport and visa to do the same.3. Give power of attorney to someone in IndiaWhy: It is just operationally easier if you have someone you trust manage your bank accounts and other financial transactions for you.What transactions are covered: A power of attorney can be given to mange almost all your financial matters including operating bank accounts, buying and selling real estate, renting out your property, signing your tax forms, issuing cheques from your account etc.What is not covered: A POA holder cannot open bank accounts on your behalf. He can only operate bank accounts once they are opened. Further, according to RBI's circular RB/2004-05/394 A.P. (DIR Series) Circular No. 37 a resident holder of POA cannot repatriate funds outside of India. He can only repatriate funds to the foreign bank account of the account holder.How to make a power of attorneyHow to make a power of attorney: The operational word here is 'trust'. Remember that power of attorney is like giving someone the key to your locker. So only assign it to someone you trust completely. Having said that, there are two types of power of attorneys: a general POA and a specific POA. A generally power of attorney gives sweeping rights to the holder to conduct a broad number of transactions on your behalf, such as banking transactions, real estate transactions.The specific power of attorney is more restrictive in that each power of attorney defines a specific scope such as power to rent property, power to issue cheques on your behalf etc., thus implying greater safety. Make sure you contact a lawyer to do this the right way. Submit attested copies to the concerned service providers such as mutual fund house or bank.4. Open an NRE account if you may have substantial repatriation requirementsWhy: Because an NRE account can offer certain benefits over the NRO account for those who might have repatriation requirements.

Note: I am not an attorney. Even if I were an attorney, I am not your attorney. This is merely the opinion of a fairly savvy Citizen. It is not legal advice. If you want legal advice hire an actual attorney. In the U.S.A. "signing" something like a Power of Attorney electronically is generally not enforcable* because many (most?) Courts require that the authorizing of them usually requires a "wet" signature which has been signNowd. You could try it but, because they are such powerful documents, almost any court (or business for that matter) will require that the signature be signNowd before allowing them to be enforced and used.In fact many businesses simply have a policy of not recognizing them without a confirming court order as well. This is especially true in health care.This is mainly because the business wants to make damned sure that any liability for errors or misunderstandings lies with someone other than the business. *Note that "not enforcable" =/= "illegal" (or even sick hawk).There's no law preventing you from doing it.  It's just completely pointless; because if you complete the Power of Attorney electronically anybody who knows anything about law or contracts or fiduciary duty will simply ignore it... along with any instructions you might try to give them under it.Do yourself a favor by getting an attorney and doing it right.

First, it depends on what the terms of the Durable Power of Attorney state; if it's a general grant of financial authority, then the attorney-in-fact can do anything that you could do with a check written out to you, including depositing it in their own bank account.  Such an act may or may not violate the fiduciary duty that an attorney-in-fact owes to the party they are representing; if you believe that a fraud has occurred under color of the Power of Attorney, you should seek competent legal advice from a licensed attorney in your jurisdiction.

Somewhere on that form should be a blank for routing number and account number. Those are available from your check and/or your bank statements. If you can't find them, call the bank and ask or go by their office for help with the form.  As long as those numbers are entered correctly, any error you make in spelling, location or naming should not influence the eventual deposit into your proper account.

I want to believe that most banks nowadays have made the process of opening bank account, which used to be cumbersome, less cumbersome. All you need to do is to approach the bank, collect the form, and fill. However if you have any difficulty in filling it, you can always call on one of the banks rep to help you out.

In California A Power of Attorney does not require notarization unless the document to be signed by the individual holding the power itself requires notarization, for example documents affecting a transfer or encumbrance of real property. As a small business attorney I routinely prepare Limited Powers of all accomplished through email which allow me to accomplish specific tasks on the half of a client.  Granting of even Limited Powers of Attorney necessarily involve a great deal of trust, and a customer should be wary of signing such a document.
