HSBC NRE FD Scheme

What is an HSBC NRE FD Scheme?

HSBC NRE FD is a fixed deposit scheme offered by HSBC Bank India to non-resident Indians (NRIs). This scheme is designed explicitly for NRIs who want to park their foreign earnings in India, earn a higher rate of interest, and repatriate their funds back to their country of residence without any hassle.

Under the HSBC NRE FD scheme, NRIs can deposit their foreign earnings in Indian rupees for a tenure ranging from 1 year to 3 years and earn a higher interest rate than regular savings accounts. The depositor must open an HSBC NRE FD account to deposit money and secure higher returns. The interest earned on the NRE FD is tax-free in India. HSBC Bank allows depositors to easily open and manage their NRE FD account online.

Additionally, these accounts come with an automatic renewal facility.
