In brief
There is no reliable universal list saying that every fund accepts every NRI. Your residence and tax citizenship, the AMC’s current policy, the investment channel and KYC can all matter. India’s tax treatment is only one part of the decision.

Next stepGive the AMC current residence, tax-identification numbers and citizenship information for KYC/FATCA/CRS. Update existing folios when circumstances change.
Confirm acceptance for the exact scheme
Ask the AMC or its authorised registrar whether your country and proposed online/offline channel are supported. Obtain a dated confirmation rather than relying on an old distributor list.
Confirm funding and repatriation
Record the originating account and desired proceeds route. Check that bank instructions and folio designation agree.
Resolve local tax before subscribing
US persons need a PFIC review; UK, Canadian, Australian and other residents need their own local fund/reporting analysis. UAE residence does not remove other citizenship-based tax obligations.
