The investor creation request has a number of fields the exchange validates against fixed lookup tables — tax_status, address.state, fatca.birth_country, bank account types, nominee relationships and more. Free text works for none of them: a value outside the exchange’s table either silently falls into a default bucket or comes back as a rejection. The masters endpoints here return those tables as option lists ({ "value", "label" }) sized for UI dropdowns — value is exactly what you send in the request, label is what you display.
These are served from static tables we keep in sync with the exchange’s own masters — no exchange call, nothing to paginate. Fetch them once when your form loads and cache them.

Investor form options

One call with every enum the creation form needs:
tax_statuses today covers the three statuses the creation form supports — Resident Individual and the two NRI variants. The request enum also accepts MINOR, HUF, COMPANY and TRUST, but those need guardian/entity fields we don’t catalog here yet; they’ll be added to this endpoint when the form scope grows.

The resident / NRI cascade

tax_statuses carries a group so you can render the same two-step pick most onboarding forms use:
  1. Investor typeRESIDENT or NRI.
  2. Account variant — enabled only for NRI, listing that group’s options: NRE (NRI_REPATRIABLE) or NRO (NRI_NON_REPATRIABLE).
The two NRI variants take exactly the same field set as a resident — they differ only in the tax_status sent and the bank account the exchange requires: an NRE investor must include at least one NE account, an NRO investor at least one NO account. Defaulting the first bank row’s account type to the variant’s NE/NO when the user picks NRE/NRO saves the most common validation failure.

States

value is the exact string address.state accepts — the same list as the valid state values table, so you don’t have to maintain it by hand.
The exchange maps any state it doesn’t recognize to its OTHERS bucket — silently, not with an error. Pin your state dropdown to these values rather than accepting free text.

Countries

The exchange’s FATCA Country Code master — 252 entries, value being the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code the FATCA fields take:
Feeds fatca.birth_country and fatca.tax_residency.
address.country is not a dropdown from this table — the domestic address block is always registered as India regardless of what you send, so hard-code it. This table is for the FATCA fields only.
