Standard Chartered Bank offers NRI Fixed Deposits across NRE, NRO and FCNR (B) schemes, giving Non-Resident Indians options in both Indian rupees and foreign currencies. NRE deposits earn tax-free, fully repatriable returns, while NRO deposits suit income earned in India, and FCNR (B) deposits protect against currency risk. Compare the tenure-wise rates above to choose the Standard Chartered NRI Fixed Deposit scheme that best matches your investment horizon.
A Standard Chartered NRI Fixed Deposit is a term deposit that lets Non-Resident Indians invest through NRE, NRO or FCNR (B) schemes. Each scheme suits a different need, from repatriable rupee savings to foreign-currency holdings. The account earns a fixed rate of return for the tenure chosen at booking.
A Standard Chartered NRE Fixed Deposit holds foreign earnings in Indian rupees and pays interest that is tax-free and fully repatriable. A Standard Chartered NRO Fixed Deposit is meant for income earned in India, such as rent or dividends, and follows different tax and repatriation rules.
A Standard Chartered FCNR (B) deposit lets an NRI hold a fixed deposit in a foreign currency such as USD, GBP, EUR, CAD, AUD or JPY. Keeping the deposit in foreign currency protects it from exchange-rate movements until the funds are converted or repatriated.
Yes, Standard Chartered offers an auto-renewal facility on its NRI Fixed Deposits, including NRE and NRO term deposits. The deposit renews automatically for the same tenure at maturity unless the depositor gives fresh instructions.
Yes, Standard Chartered allows NRIs to avail a loan or overdraft against the balance held in an NRI Fixed Deposit account. This gives the depositor access to funds without having to break the fixed deposit early.
Yes, both the interest earned and the principal invested in a Standard Chartered NRE Fixed Deposit are freely repatriable outside India. This makes the NRE scheme suited to NRIs who may want to move their funds abroad in future.
Interest earned on a Standard Chartered NRE Fixed Deposit is exempt from tax in India, while interest on an NRO Fixed Deposit is subject to tax deduction at source. NRIs should also check any applicable tax treaty benefit for their country of residence.
Any Non-Resident Indian or Person of Indian Origin who holds, or opens, a corresponding NRE, NRO or FCNR account with Standard Chartered can open an NRI Fixed Deposit. Standard KYC documents and proof of NRI status are typically required.
A Standard Chartered NRI Fixed Deposit can be opened through the bank's online banking platform or at a branch that services NRI accounts. The deposit is usually funded from an existing NRE, NRO or FCNR account, or through a fresh inward remittance from abroad.
Yes, Standard Chartered allows premature withdrawal of an NRI Fixed Deposit, though this is normally subject to a penalty on the interest rate applicable for the period held. Depositors should check the current premature withdrawal terms before breaking a deposit early.
