Critical decision facts

Rate, tenure, liquidity and booking conditions belong together.

A headline deposit rate is incomplete without the dated schedule, tenure band, customer category and premature-withdrawal rules.

Exact product-type evidence

Fixed deposit evidence stays in its own structure.

Specialist fields below remain source-scoped. Missing values stay missing; one banking product type is never used to manufacture facts for another.

Comparable tenure points

Rate anchors you can compare without reading a headline maximum.

Only tenure points directly represented by the reviewed bank schedule are stored. We do not interpolate a rate between published bands.

Fit & cautions

Who this record appears designed for—and what can break the fit.

Best-fit wording summarizes the published proposition. It is not individualized financial advice or an approval prediction.

Potential fit

NRIs/PIOs who need to term-deposit Indian-source rupee balances and can work within NRO tax and outward-remittance rules.

Verify before relying
  • NRO interest is taxable in India; treaty/documentation may change withholding.
  • The minimum initial deposit is separate from the rate amount band.
  • A quoted NRE tax/repatriation benefit should never be copied onto this NRO product.
Maintained comparisons

Compare this product only where the pair is deliberately maintained.

Both sides keep independent review dates, exact conditions and first-party evidence. No winner score is generated.

First-party source ledger

Complete evidence set for this maintained profile.

Each source remains independent. A product page, tariff, KFS/MITC, rate schedule or programme document is not silently treated as interchangeable evidence.

Current-use rule

When the bank changes a term after the recorded review, the current agreement, tariff, KFS/MITC or effective rate table controls.
