Key Features & Strategic Benefits of Union Bank of India FCNR Rates

  1. Currency Hedging: 

    Since your deposits are held in 6 foreign currencies (USD, GBP, EUR, AUD, CAD, or JPY), you are fully insulated from Rupee depreciation. You receive your maturity proceeds in the same currency you invested.

  2. 100% Tax-Free Returns: 

    Interest earned on FCNR (B) accounts is exempt from Indian Income Tax. There is no TDS on the interest credited, maximising your actual take-home yield.

  3. Full Repatriability: 

    You can freely transfer both the principal and the interest back to your overseas account or use them for payments in India without any regulatory hurdles.

  4. Flexible Funding: 

    You can open an account using inward remittances from abroad, foreign currency traveller’s cheques, or by transferring funds from your existing NRE or FCNR accounts within India.

  5. Premature Withdrawal: 

    Union Bank generally does not charge a penalty for premature closure of FCNR (B) deposits, provided the funds have stayed with the bank for at least 12 months. However, the interest rate paid will be the one applicable for the actual period the deposit was held, not the original contracted rate.

  6. Liquidity Via Loan Against FD:

    If you need funds but don't want to break your FD, Union Bank allows you to take a loan against your FCNR (B) balance:

    • Loan Amount: Up to 90% of the deposit value.
    • Currency Options: You can take the loan in Indian Rupees (INR) for local needs or in Foreign Currency for overseas requirements.
    • Benefit: Your deposit continues to earn interest even while you utilise the loan facility.
