Important Notes

  • Rates sourced from official bank websites and verified June–August 2026. Subject to change without notice.
  • Current rates reflect the RBI's special FCNR(B) deposit mobilisation program (first such scheme since 2013). Promotional rates — particularly for 3–5 year tenures — are significantly higher than the long-run norm. Confirm availability and current rate directly with your bank.
  • SBI's rates are notably lower than private sector peers during this cycle. Investors prioritising rate maximisation should compare private sector banks carefully.
  • Interest is calculated on a 360-day basis for USD, GBP, and EUR deposits; 365-day basis for AUD and CAD.
  • Minimum deposit amounts vary by bank — typically USD 1,000 or equivalent. Some wealth management tiers require higher minimums.
  • JPY rates remain near zero despite the Bank of Japan's 2024 policy normalisation. Verify current JPY rates directly with your bank.
