How Are Indian Bank FCNR FD Rates Decided?

Several factors affect how Indian Bank determines the final FCNR rates. These are:

  • Ceiling of FCNR Rate by RBI: The ceiling of interest rates on FCNR(B) accounts is laid down by the RBI. FCNR deposit rates are determined based on the currency and tenure chosen by each bank, as well as Indian Bank.

  • Foreign Interest Rates: Indian Bank FCNR rates vary depending on the interest rates in the respective foreign market where the currency originates.

  • Cost of Hedging: The cost of hedging foreign exchange risks may affect IB FCNR(B) rates.

  • Bank’s Funding Needs: Funding needs of the bank for foreign currencies may have an effect on Indian Bank FCNR(B) rates.

  • Foreign Currency Demand: Demand and market conditions prevailing for different foreign currencies may affect Indian Bank FCNR(B) rates.

Key Features of Indian Bank FCNR(B) Deposit

Indian Bank FCNR(B) deposits provide NRIs/OCIs with an option to make deposits in designated foreign currency. The salient features are as follows:

  • No Interest on Early Withdrawal: No interest is paid by Indian Bank if the depositor withdraws the money before 12 months.

  • Compounding of Interest: In an Indian Bank FCNR(B) account, interest is compounded after every 180 days and thereafter for the remaining number of days.

  • Tax Benefits: The interest accrued from the FCNR(B) account is non-taxable in India for eligible NRI depositors, subject to applicable provisions.

  • Repatriability: The principal and interest may be repatriated out of India subject to RBI rules/regulations.

  • Several Foreign Currencies: Eligible NRIs and OCIs can open the FCNR(B) account in 8 different foreign currencies such as USD, GBP, EUR, AUD, CAD, JPY, CHF and SGD.

FAQs

  • What is the current Indian Bank FCNR(B) deposit rate?

    The currency and tenure chosen determine the interest rate on the FCNR deposit. The highest rate (5.50% p.a.) is applicable currently on USD deposits for a term of 1 year to less than 2 years.
  • Who can open an Indian Bank FCNR(B) deposit?

    An eligible NRI or OCI can also open an Indian Bank FCNR(B) deposit. Two eligible NRIs, or one eligible NRI and one resident Indian, can also open the account jointly under permissible conditions, as per RBI guidelines and Indian Bank criteria.
  • How is interest compounded on Indian Bank FCNR(B) deposits?

    Indian Bank compounds interest half-yearly, that is, every 180 days, for all FCNR(B) deposit tenures above one year. For a deposit of exactly one year, simple interest applies. Interest is paid in the same foreign currency in which the deposit is maintained, as per the applicable payout terms.
  • Can an FCNR(B) deposit be opened jointly at Indian Bank?

    Yes. An FCNR(B) deposit can generally be opened jointly with another eligible NRI or with a resident Indian under permitted conditions. The Indian Bank FCNR account operation rules depend on the type of joint holding chosen.
  • Can a loan be availed against an Indian Bank FCNR(B) deposit?

    Yes. Indian Bank offers loans or overdrafts against eligible FCNR(B) deposits, subject to applicable terms and conditions.
  • Can an Indian Bank FCNR(B) deposit be closed before maturity?

    Yes, but no interest is earned in case of Indian Bank premature withdrawal before completing 12 months. In case of withdrawal after 12 months, the interest rate and the conditions for premature withdrawal shall depend on the current terms of the bank.
  • What is the difference between NRE and FCNR deposits at Indian Bank?

    Indian Bank has NRE fixed deposits which earn interest in Indian Rupees with an interest rate currently varying between 6.10% p.a. and 7.10% p.a. These may fluctuate depending upon the global market conditions, similar to Indian Bank FD rates. However, the FCNR(B) deposits in foreign currency do not have any conversion risk during the period.
  • Are Indian Bank FCNR FD rates the same as regular FD rates?

    No. FCNR(B) rates are different from normal domestic FD rates. Normal FDs are in Indian Rupees while FCNR(B) deposits are maintained in specified foreign currencies. Interest rates are also different as per the currency and duration picked.
