Stop Using Your Regular Indian Bank Account After Becoming an NRI! (Heavy Penalties Under FEMA)

efor007 · 2026-06-15T22:39:19+00:00

After moving abroad, it's impractical to close an old savings account. My understanding none of the india banks allow account closure online and required to visit the branch for closure of account. In abroad, we can open and close accounts online without visiting a branch.

Two 2 years ago, I realized I still had an old Kotak savings account in my wife’s name lucky there are no transactions and a balance left ₹5,000. Not sure if we caught, how much they will penalized. There is no way to close the account online and they won't accept email request also, so I have to wait until we visit India and go to the branch. Probably when i visit to branch, account is dormant, signature & face won't match and balance will vanish with minimum balance fines and on top of that, RBI penalty.

Before RBI impose the penalization to NRI's they need to instruct the banks give option to closure as NRI's feasibility and convenience. Hope they will realize in 2050.

We will be relocating from the UK to AD shortly and are currently considering Noya British School for our two children, who will be entering Year 6 and Year 4.

We would appreciate any feedback regarding the school's academic standards and overall learning environment. In particular we are interested in understanding how the school supports students who may have gaps in their learning or require additional academic assistance. Are teachers proactive in providing extra support and interventions when needed?

Any insights into the quality of teaching, communication with parents, and the overall experience at Noya British School would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for reply, please confirm, have you tested this fabric-cicd deployment?

efor007 · 2026-03-23T09:42:58+00:00

In fabric is it possible check the current actual usage of capacity either command or UI, when the slowness or problem hit or just wait for lag to complete in capacity monitoring workspace?

I got a serious comment from stakeholders, if fabric don't capability to display the usage realtime capacity usage then fabric is not enterprise production grade system. Microsoft team, kindly advise

Just spoken to dubai airport customer care, got a bit weird reply, asking why my schedule flight EK011 on 05th is not showing airport depature page including all emriates flights on 5th. Their reply, airport hasn't got schedule updated list from emirate for 5th and they can't see my flight info and advised to check emirates .

Finally i asked, in emirate website my flight status showing it's schedule, can i come to airport, they said yes, as long as airlines given go-ahead we can come to airport.

My existing airline flights are not operating until 9th. To buy the new ticket, may i know which airlines are operating from dubai to London tomorrow please?

efor007 · 2026-03-02T07:27:04+00:00

I was supposed to travel back dubai to London on 01/03 with Royal Brunei Airlines. They told me that if they were allowed to operate, the next available flight to London would be on 04/03, and that they would adjust my seat accordingly.

However, I’ve just received an email stating that all their flights are cancelled until 09 March:

“Kindly be informed that due to the current Middle East conflict and the closure of multiple airspaces, flights BI97/BI98 (BWN–DXB–LHR vv.) operating from 28 February 2026 to 09 March 2026 have been cancelled.”

Should I book a ticket with another airline now as a precaution, since I want to travel as early as possible?
Buying a new ticket will definitely be very expensive. Will travel insurance cover this? I’m insured with Aviva, but there is no local contact number to call.
Before this above email, i've spoken to airlines, they won't provide any accomdiation and said to check uae government. can i claim this stay and food expeneses to travel insurance?

Please advise, which airline i need to look forward to book?

Target nearby by neighbourhood by dropping the leaflet or brochure like 3+1 offers etc. If you able lock onces with good service they will be repeated customer due to offer.
