PNB Bank NRE FD Scheme

Overview

With flexible tenures ranging from one to ten years, fixed deposits park the money in accounts for a certain period. The FD often generates higher interest rates, producing larger returns because the money is kept invested for longer.

The rates for Punjab National Bank NRE FD depend on the term. Longer terms typically have higher interest rates. Despite increased PNB NRI FD rates, investors must consider their goals before choosing a duration. Because FD is not liquid, any early withdrawal or exit may result in a penalty being levied. So it makes sense to keep investing during the entire period to profit from guaranteed capital growth, albeit at set rates.

What is a PNB Bank NRE FD Scheme?

If the deposit period is one year, the PNB NRE FD Rates will be applied after the first year. Compounding then begins over longer terms for a cumulative benefit. In this case, interest is paid once every 180 days and compounded every 180 days. The depositor benefits from the compounding effect upon maturity for deposits with tenures longer than a year.

According to the variables controlled by the RBI’s policies, the applicable interest rates are frequently reviewed and amended either higher or downwards. As a result, the following three grids provide information on the current rates:
