Bracketed figures suggest existing rates


 


 


 


 


Earlier in May, SBI had increased NRI deposit rates by 75-175 bps. It got an encouraging response by mopping up Rs 7,000 crore within 30-60 days . Its NRI deposit book stood at around Rs 70,200 crore till June in 2012-13.  However, it was only around Rs 500 crore that came through FCNR deposits.


NRI deposits are of two types: Rupee deposits wherein a customer directly subscribes a scheme in rupee terms; and FCNR in which a depositor puts money in foreign currencies.
