Secure Returns for Your Local Earnings.

The smartest way to park and grow your Indian-sourced income with competitive rates and flexible liquidity.

The Bharat Bank NRO Fixed Deposit is designed for NRIs and OCIs who have income originating in India—such as rent from a property, pension, or dividends from investments. While NRE deposits focus on foreign earnings, the NRO FD is the perfect home for your "legitimate local funds." It allows you to earn attractive interest rates on your Rupee holdings while providing a clear, compliant path for managing your Indian wealth.
