Can I execute F&O trades and Equity Delivery trades in single NRO account?

No, you will have to open 2 separate NRO accounts to trade in Equity Cash Segment and Equity Derivative Segment. This is because, the funds to trade in Equity Cash needs to be transferred to us while funds to trade in F&O needs to be transferred to Orbis Financial Corporation. Hence, to avoid confusion in allocation of funds to these segments, we open 2 different NRO accounts, one dedicated for Equity Cash segment and another for Equity F&O segment.
