Regional conflict-driven curbs weigh on flow: FCNR(B) inflows may miss initial estimates, says HDFC Bank CEO

Expected FCNR(B) deposit inflows are now projected at fifty to fifty-five billion dollars. Taxation complexities for nonresidents and tighter West Asian liquidity are impacting these mobilizations. Early estimates had not fully factored in the tax impact on non-resident Indians. The Reserve Bank of India's special incentives for this program will conclude on September thirtieth. HDFC Bank is pursuing a three-pronged approach to maximize its deposit mobilization efforts.
