There is no single EU-wide personal tax system covering all investments. Tax rules are primarily determined by your individual country of tax residence, national legislation and applicable tax treaties.
Your country of residence matters. Tax treatment for an NRI living in Germany may differ from an NRI living in France, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands or Ireland.
Eligible NRIs can invest in Indian mutual funds and other permitted investments subject to FEMA, KYC, SEBI/RBI and individual product requirements.
Account selection depends on: source of money, Indian income, investment type and repatriation objective.
