FAQs on Standard Chartered Bank NRI Fixed Deposits

1.What is a Standard Chartered NRI Fixed Deposit?

A Standard Chartered NRI Fixed Deposit is a term deposit that lets Non-Resident Indians invest through NRE, NRO or FCNR (B) schemes. NRE and NRO deposits are held in Indian rupees, while FCNR (B) deposits are held in a foreign currency. The deposit earns interest at the rate prevailing on the date of booking.

2.What is the difference between Standard Chartered NRE and NRO Fixed Deposits?

A Standard Chartered NRE Fixed Deposit is an Indian rupee deposit funded from foreign earnings, with tax-free interest and freely repatriable principal and interest. A Standard Chartered NRO Fixed Deposit is also an Indian rupee deposit, but its interest is subject to tax deducted at source.

3.What is a Standard Chartered FCNR (B) deposit?

A Standard Chartered FCNR (B) deposit is a fixed deposit held in a foreign currency, which protects the investment from exchange rate fluctuations. FCNR (B) stands for Foreign Currency Non-Resident (Bank) Deposit. The interest is earned in the same foreign currency and is tax-free in India.

4.Who can open a Standard Chartered NRI Fixed Deposit?

A Standard Chartered NRI Fixed Deposit can be opened by a Non-Resident Indian, and an FCNR (B) deposit can be booked by any Standard Chartered NRI customer whose account is operative. A Standard Chartered NRE Fixed Deposit can also be held jointly with another NRI, or with a resident individual under the former or survivor mode only. Nomination facility is available on NRE and NRO deposits.

5.How can I open a Standard Chartered NRI Fixed Deposit?

A Standard Chartered NRE or NRO Fixed Deposit can be opened through Netbanking or at any branch in India, while an FCNR (B) deposit is opened with the help of a Relationship Manager or at a branch. An NRE deposit can be funded by a fresh inward remittance from abroad or from funds in an NRE account, and an NRO deposit by transfer from an existing NRO account. An FCNR (B) deposit can be funded the same way as an NRE deposit, with Indian rupee funds converted to the booking currency.

6.Is interest on a Standard Chartered NRI Fixed Deposit taxable?

Interest earned on a Standard Chartered NRE Fixed Deposit and on an FCNR (B) deposit is tax-free in India. Interest earned on a Standard Chartered NRO Fixed Deposit is subject to tax deducted at source.

7.Are the principal and interest on a Standard Chartered NRE Fixed Deposit repatriable?

Yes, both the principal and the interest on a Standard Chartered NRE Fixed Deposit are freely repatriable. This makes the NRE scheme suited to Non-Resident Indians who may want to move their funds abroad.

8.Is there a minimum tenure for a Standard Chartered NRE or FCNR (B) Fixed Deposit?

Yes, a Standard Chartered NRE or FCNR (B) Fixed Deposit has a minimum tenor of one year. No interest is paid if the deposit is withdrawn before completing that minimum tenor.

9.Can I withdraw a Standard Chartered NRI Fixed Deposit before maturity?

Yes, a Standard Chartered NRI Fixed Deposit can be withdrawn prematurely, subject to a penalty on the interest rate payable for the period the deposit has been held. No interest is paid on an NRE or FCNR (B) deposit withdrawn before its minimum tenor. A premature withdrawal of an NRE deposit for conversion into a Resident Foreign Currency (RFC) account attracts no penalty.

10.Do Standard Chartered NRI Fixed Deposit rates change after booking?

The interest rate prevailing on the date of booking applies to a Standard Chartered NRI Fixed Deposit. Rates can change from time to time, so the tenure-wise rates above are worth checking before booking.

11.Does Standard Chartered offer auto-renewal on Fixed Deposits?

Yes, Standard Chartered offers an auto-renewal facility on its Fixed Deposits, which renews the deposit for the same tenure on the maturity date. Depositors should confirm with the bank whether the facility applies to their specific Standard Chartered NRI Fixed Deposit scheme.

12.Can I get an overdraft against a Standard Chartered NRI Fixed Deposit?

Standard Chartered offers an overdraft facility against its Fixed Deposits, which lets a depositor borrow against the deposit instead of breaking it. Depositors should confirm with the bank whether the facility applies to their specific Standard Chartered NRI Fixed Deposit scheme.
