Intense competition for FCNR (B) deposits has left some lenders apprehensive they could lose overseas customers as their offerings may not be as attractive as those of others. With the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) having lifted the cap on these deposits, a clutch of banks has raised their interest rates making their offers more attractive.
