Latest NRE Savings Account & FD Interest Rates June 2022
Fixed deposits are one of the most common NRI investment options in India as they offer assured and safe returns on investment. Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) open NRE (Non-Resident External) fixed deposits to save their foreign earnings and earn attractive returns on maturity. NRE FD rates vary from bank to bank.
Both principal and interest earned are tax-free in India and fully repatriable to the country of your residence.
