Hi There,

I am keen to know, if there are any restrictions or government regulations, which one need to be aware if they are investing say > Rs. 1 Lakh on such Fixed Deposits.

Especially if you can explain how things affect someone who is Non Resident Indian Citizen.

Many Thanks
JP

you need to factor in costs associated with TDS (tax deduction at source). 30.1%, as per my discussion with HSBC.

Also, since this would be NRO, you would need to go through the normal process of getting funds repatriated back out of India.. need a form 15c (or something like that), note from your chartered accountant. Max amount USD1M per annum
