Good afternoon Folks. Do we get a better rate on our money transfer when we send to NRI A/C or SB A/C. Thank you. Have a nice day.

No rate difference in remmitance to NRI or SB account.

However once u become NRI (I presume ur reffering to India and NRE account) you have to inform your bank about change in your status as NRI and your regular SB account will become NRO account.

NRE account interest in non taxable, NRO taxable .

However FD interest rate is very low for FCNR/NRE deposit as against normal FD.

To my best knowledge and understanding,..... NO.. the rates will be same if you do from any Money Exchange Business here in Qatar. Normally there is no way to get any different rate as "the seller" of Indian Currency to you being the "Money Exhange Business House" is parting an equivalent amount of Indian Ruppes from his clearing account with his clearing bank account in India. It doesn't make any difference to where it is sold....whether to a NRI a/c or to a Resident account. ----- let's wait for experts opinons....
