UAE Leads India’s FCNR(B) Deposit Scheme with Over $10 Billion Contributions
The UAE is leading India's special FCNR(B) deposit scheme, contributing over $10 billion—more than half of the total $20 billion mobilized—driven by its large Indian expatriate community. Attractive dollar rates, tax-free interest, and leverage facilities have spurred strong interest. However, operational restrictions on bank representative offices in the UAE limit the ability to fully tap this potential. Other contributors include Singapore, Hong Kong, and London, though in smaller amounts.
