Non-Resident External (NRE) deposits are held in rupee denomination by Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) who wish to park their foreign earnings in an Indian bank. Axis Bank NRE fixed deposits (FDs) are high-paying deposit accounts that offer tax-free interest income for foreign nationals.
A Non-Resident External (NRE) Fixed Deposit account is a term deposit account opened by a Non-Resident Indian (NRI) in order to invest their overseas earnings within an Indian bank.
The deposits held are in Indian rupees. NRIs choose this option if they wish to ensure growth in their savings and avail tax benefits on interest. Axis Bank offers NRE Fixed Deposits that enable NRIs to open deposit accounts with high returns and minimal tax liabilities.
