Good Article Deepak! This is informative! Are you planning to roll out an update?
I am a non Indian resident and would like to take advantage of the higher fix deposit interest rates the Indian banks are paying these days,so which account should I open and which bank.I am looking at a 1 year tenor.
Regards
is there any tax for the interest yearned out of FD for NRE or nri account?
Is there a limit? If I want to invest around 1 cr, am I subject to tax? Should I need to invest it in one name or multiple name in my family?
