What is the process for opening a partnership account when a partner is a foreign national or an NRI?

When opening a partnership account involving a foreign national or NRI partner, the individual KYC form must be submitted along with notarised copies of essential documents. These include the partner’s PAN, passport, visa, OCI/PIO card or resident permit, and both Indian and overseas address proofs.  

All documents must be notarised by authorized officials such as overseas branches of Indian scheduled commercial banks, public notaries, court magistrates, judges, or the Indian embassy or consulate in the country where the partner resides.
