| Decision factor | Federal Bank Rupee Plus | Federal Bank NRE Fixed Deposit |
|---|---|---|
| Current rate evidence | Return is the applicable FCNR interest plus the forward premium on the chosen currency at opening; the premium varies daily, so no evergreen single percentage is stored. | For single deposits below ₹300 lakh effective 17 August 2026, the reviewed NRE schedule runs from 6.25% at 1 year to a 6.70% 48-month rate, with 6.40%–6.50% across surrounding bands. |
| Currency / amount / tenure | Minimum opening amount is ₹10 lakh; tenure ranges from 1 year 1 day to 5 years. | Minimum interest-earning tenure is 1 year; FedMobile terms state a ₹1,000 minimum for Cash Certificate/FD and a maximum term of 10 years, subject to channel/product eligibility. |
| Tax / repatriation / payout | Tax-free NRE treatment, repatriable rupee maturity proceeds and a pre-booked forward conversion designed to make the maturity INR value more predictable. | Digital booking through eligible Federal channels, payout/reinvestment choices and NRE repatriation/tax treatment under current rules. |
| Premature withdrawal / liquidity | No premature closure is allowed. Forward-contract cancellation is not an ordinary customer right and can involve bank discretion, exchange differences, swap cost and other charges. | A 1% premature-closure penalty applies to NRE term deposits opened/renewed under the bank’s stated current rule; no NRI senior/staff additional benefit. |
| NRI / PIO / OCI eligibility | Eligible Federal Bank NRI customers using NRE-permitted funds/remittance routes under current KYC and deposit rules. | Eligible Federal Bank NRE/NRI customers under current KYC and deposit-opening rules. |
| Deposit-state / funding rule | The economic return combines an FCNR deposit and a forward contract; it is therefore excluded from ordinary INR FD and FCNR rate rankings. | NRE term-deposit rules and rate table are maintained separately from resident/NRO and special non-callable Deposit Plus structures. |
A useful comparison shows what can make either option unsuitable instead of averaging those conditions into a score.
These tools help narrow or inspect the records. They do not replace bank eligibility, live pricing or account-specific controls.
One side's source depth or freshness never fills a gap in the other record.
