  1. What kind of Deposit Insurance is available on the USD deposits in CDs.
    With all the Bank frauds and bank insolvencies we hear on the news I am wondering if it is safe to put the hard earned savings in Indian banks.

      The previous year in which you become a resident under FEMA the interest becomes taxable from that year. You are suppose to declare to the Bank that you have become a resident but this will continue to be treated as NRE deposit by bank. There will be no TDS but you have to calculate your interest and pay advance tax and offer it to tax.

  3. Your rates are not updated. For example Karur Vysya bank change their rate every month. Please update if not it is point less to check your site as it would be better to go to the respective bank website and check the same.

    two year tenor is 4.09 and not 4.16
