On the other hand, child and retirement plans help fulfil dedicated, goal-based savings dreams while also providing life insurance protection.

Depending on your investment objectives, you may also consider other eligible investment avenues such as mutual funds, direct equity, fixed deposits, National Pension System (NPS), or real estate investments in India to diversify your portfolio.

Build Wealth in Indian Rupees

While your income is earned in Singapore Dollars (SGD), many of your long-term financial goals may still be based in India. Investing in Indian Rupees helps create a dedicated corpus for education, retirement, property purchase, and other future financial milestones while reducing dependence on future currency fluctuations.

Benefits of Investment Plans for NRIs in Singapore

Investment plans for NRIs in Singapore help you build wealth in India while you stay focused on your long-term goals. Whether you are planning for retirement, your child's education, purchasing property, or creating a financial legacy, these plans support disciplined investing with financial protection.

Build a Corpus in Indian Rupees

Many future goals, such as purchasing a home, funding higher education, supporting family members, or retiring in India, require savings in Indian rupees. Investing directly in India helps you gradually build a dedicated corpus for such important milestones.

Life Cover Along with Wealth Creation

Unlike standalone investment products, investment-linked insurance plans combine long-term savings with life insurance protection. In short, your family's financial goals stay protected, even if life takes an unexpected turn.

Investment Choices for Different Risk Profiles

Choose from guaranteed return savings plans for stability or market-linked ULIPs for long-term growth potential. Goal-based child and retirement plans provide additional flexibility based on your financial priorities.

In addition, eligible NRIs can diversify their investments through options such as mutual funds, direct equity, fixed deposits, National Pension System (NPS), and real estate investments based on their financial objectives and individual risk appetite.

0% GST on Individual Life Insurance Premiums

Individual life insurance premiums attract 0% GST effective from 22 September 2025, making eligible insurance-linked investment plans even more attractive.

Fully Digital Investment Journey

From onboarding and KYC to policy servicing and investment tracking, eligible NRIs can manage their investments remotely from Singapore, making investing in India convenient regardless of where they live.

Continue Your Plan Even After Returning to India

If you relocate to India in the future, your investment plan continues without starting over. You simply need to update your residency status, contact details, and banking information with the insurer, wherever required.

Why Many NRIs in Singapore Prefer Investing in India

India is home to diverse investment opportunities, helping NRIs create a balanced investment portfolio. Combined with NRI-friendly regulations, digital investment processes, and access to multiple asset classes, investing in India allows Singapore-based NRIs to work towards their long-term financial goals while remaining connected to their home country.

NRI Investment Plans for Every Goal

Every financial goal deserves an investment plan that matches its timeline and purpose. Whether you want guaranteed savings, long-term market participation, retirement planning, or a dedicated corpus for your child's future, Ageas Federal offers investment solutions designed around your objectives.

From savings and guaranteed return plans to market-linked investment options, eligible NRIs in Singapore can choose solutions that align with their financial goals while building long-term wealth in India.

Use the investment calculator to estimate your contributions and choose a plan aligned with your goals. The projected values are illustrative and depend on the selected investment option.

Should you invest in India or locally in Singapore?

The answer depends on where your long-term financial goals are based. If your future plans include buying a home in India, funding your children's education, supporting your family, or retiring there, an India-issued investment plan can help you build wealth directly in Indian Rupees (INR).

Ageas Federal currently offers investment plans issued in Indian Rupees. If your long-term financial goals remain connected to India, an INR-denominated investment can be a practical way to build wealth over time. If your future financial plans are entirely centred outside India, local investment options in Singapore may complement your overall investment portfolio.

What should NRIs in Singapore check before investing in India?

Before selecting an investment plan, it is important to evaluate whether it genuinely supports your financial objectives rather than choosing solely based on expected returns.

1. Define Your Financial Goal

Start by identifying the purpose of your investment. Whether you are planning for retirement, purchasing property, funding higher education, supporting your family, or creating a financial legacy, your investment objective and time horizon should guide your decision.

2. Match the Plan with Your Time Horizon

Long-term financial goals may benefit from market-linked investment options such as ULIPs, whereas guaranteed savings plans may be more suitable for goals with a fixed investment timeline.

ULIPs are market-linked investments. The investment risk is borne by the policyholder and includes a mandatory five-year lock-in period.

3. Build a Diversified Portfolio

While insurance-linked investment plans help combine wealth creation with financial protection, eligible NRIs in Singapore may also consider diversifying their investments through mutual funds, direct equity, fixed deposits, National Pension System (NPS), or real estate based on their financial goals and individual risk profile.

4. Provide Accurate Information

Always disclose your residency status, employment details, financial information, income, and medical information (where applicable) accurately. This helps ensure smooth policy issuance and servicing throughout the policy term.

5. Understand the Tax Rules

Investment taxation differs across financial products. Before investing, understand the applicable Indian tax provisions and the benefits available under the India-Singapore Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA). Professional tax advice is recommended based on your individual financial circumstances.

6. Ensure Your Banking Arrangements are Ready

Before investing, make sure you have an active NRE or NRO account for seamless fund transfers and policy servicing. Depending on the insurer's accepted payment methods, eligible investments may also be funded through foreign currency remittances in accordance with applicable banking regulations.

How can NRIs in Singapore pay for investment plans?

NRE or NRO Account

The most common investment route is through your NRE or NRO account. These accounts allow you to make contributions in accordance with applicable banking and regulatory guidelines while also facilitating eligible policy payouts.

Foreign Currency Remittance

Eligible investors may remit funds from Singapore, which are converted into Indian Rupees through the applicable banking channels before being invested in the selected plan, wherever permitted.

Flexible Digital Payment Experience

Eligible NRIs residing in Singapore can complete premium payments through supported banking channels linked to their NRE or NRO accounts. Depending on the insurer's accepted payment methods, foreign currency remittances may also be used in accordance with prevailing RBI and FEMA regulations.

How are NRI investments in India taxed for Singapore residents?

Understanding taxation is an important part of investing in India. For NRIs residing in Singapore, taxation generally depends on the type of investment, applicable Indian tax laws, and the provisions of the India-Singapore Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA). Tax treatment may vary based on your financial profile, so professional advice is recommended.

Capital Gains Tax

Returns earned from investments such as equity, mutual funds, real estate, or other capital assets may be subject to capital gains tax in India. Certain exemptions may be available under the Income Tax Act, subject to the applicable conditions.

Tax Benefits on Life Insurance Plans

Life insurance plans have a separate tax treatment from general investments. Eligible maturity and death benefits may qualify for tax benefits under the applicable provisions of the Income Tax Act, subject to prevailing rules and conditions.

Tax Deduction on Premiums

NRIs having taxable income in India may be eligible to claim deductions on qualifying life insurance premiums under the applicable provisions of the Income Tax Act, subject to the prescribed limits and the tax regime chosen.

DTAA Benefits

The India-Singapore Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) helps reduce the possibility of the same income being taxed in both countries. Eligible investors may claim applicable relief by fulfilling the required documentation and regulatory conditions, subject to the provisions of the treaty and applicable tax laws.

Individual life insurance premiums attract 0% GST effective from 22 September 2025.
