Top 5 Private Sector Banks Promising Returns Up To 6.50% On NRO Deposits

|

Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) seeking higher returns in India can open Non-Resident Ordinary (NRO) Fixed Deposits at any Indian bank to receive interest rates comparable to those given to regular Indian residents and not senior citizens. NRO Fixed Deposits not only provide competitive interest rates, resulting in greater returns on your deposits, but you may also apply for a loan up to 90% of your deposit at competitive rates to cover your short-term needs. The minimum deposit amount for NRO Fixed Deposits may start from Rs 25,000, and the maturity period ranges from 7 days to 10 years. NRIs can also benefit from attractive exchange rates while converting their foreign currency to Indian rupees. Interest on NRO Savings Accounts and NRO Fixed Deposits is subject to tax deduction at source, therefore a TDS of 30% + relevant surcharge and cess is deducted. NRIs, on the other hand, can minimize their TDS by taking advantage of the Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA). NRIs can open an NRO Fixed Deposit account at any of the below-mentioned banks to receive a higher interest rate of up to 6.50 percent, in addition to the option of having interest deposited to their account monthly, quarterly, or at the maturity date.
