Short answer

Your account opening and brokerage charges are higher as an NRI compared to a resident account because of the additional manual effort required to open your NRI account. The operation of your NRI account requires continuous communication with PIS banks for settlements in PIS accounts and deduction and filing of TDS returns for Non-PIS accounts.
