Mumbai, July 01: DBS Bank India has revised the interest rates on its Foreign Currency Non-Resident (Bank) [FCNR(B)] deposits for Non-Resident Indians (NRIs), in line with the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) recent announcement. The new rates are effective from 1 July 2026.
The bank will now offer up to 5.6% per annum* on USD FCNR(B) deposits for tenures ranging from three to five years. This provides NRIs with an opportunity to earn attractive returns while maintaining their savings in a foreign currency. Deposits are fully repatriable, with both principal and interest payable in the designated foreign currency, thereby reducing exposure to exchange-rate fluctuations at maturity.
