Banks paying High Interests on NRO Deposits



Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) maintain bank accounts designated as Non-Resident Ordinary (NRO). It is a savings account used by an NRI to handle revenue produced in India, which may include rental income, dividend income, and salary. An NRI may deposit funds in both foreign and Indian currencies and may withdraw funds from this account in Indian currency.


NRO fixed deposits should be used to invest the savings account's excess funds. NRO deposit interest is higher than that paid on a regular bank account. Banks from other countries that pay the highest interest rates on short-term, two- to three-year NRO deposits are listed below.
