Best FCNR(B) rate by tenure (USD)

Tap a tenure for the full ranking · Use currency filter to compare other currencies

An FCNR(B), Foreign Currency Non-Resident (Bank), deposit lets NRIs hold a term deposit in foreign currency itself (USD, GBP, EUR, CAD, AUD and more) rather than rupees, so there is no exchange-rate risk and the interest is tax-free in India and fully repatriable. RBI permits terms of one to five years. As of 14 Nov 2026, the highest rate we track is 6.66% (USD) at Abhyudaya Co-operative Bank Ltd..

Because the deposit stays in your chosen currency, FCNR(B) suits NRIs who will spend abroad or want to avoid rupee swings; the trade-off is a lower headline rate than rupee NRE deposits. Rates differ by currency and bank; the table below defaults to USD, and all banks are RBI-licensed with DICGC cover up to ₹5 lakh. Use the currency filter to compare others, or see rupee NRE FD rates.
