NRO Savings FAQs

What is a NRE savings bank account?

The Non-Resident External Account (NRE Account) is a Savings/Current/fixed deposit account held in India, in Indian Rupees. The foreign currency earnings can be deposited into the NRE savings account by transfers from your country of residence or transfers from other NRE accounts in India. To deposit money into an NRE account, you need to convert foreign currency into Indian Rupees (USD to INR, GBP to INR, CAD to INR, AUD to INR, etc) by transferring money to your NRE account in India. You can open either NRE Savings or NRE current or NRE fixed deposit in India. To open NRE fixed deposit, you need to first transfer money to your NRE savings account and then give a request to your bank in India to open an NRE fixed deposit. You can always convert the money lying in your NRE account (NRE savings account or NRE fixed deposit) back to foreign currency and repatriate the sum out of India, since both principal and interest earned in this NRE account (NRE savings account or NRE fixed deposit) are freely repatriable.

Can I transfer funds from my existing NRO Accounts to open an NRE Account?

No, you can transfer funds from your existing NRE savings accounts, NRE fixed deposits, FCNR deposit, but not from your other NRO savings accounts and NRO fixed deposits.

How can I transfer or repatriate Indian Rupees in my NRE savings account in India to my overseas bank account?
