NRIs Bank Investment Is On Rise
by Kim Gill WriterCan you guess where does good investor keep an eye on? His
eyes set on investment plans that have promise of good returns. The basic
theory of investing money is simple, i.e. to earn profit. A person, with his
bags and luggage, migrates to the US or Germany or UK or France, for what? It’s
to stuff his wallet with euros or dollars.
What takes an Indian
away to European countries?
A non-resident of India (NRI) knows how to encash his hard
work and intelligence in foreign currency. The scale weighs currency of
European countries and some of the Asian countries more than that of Indian
coins. And there, pay scale is relatively higher. So, NRIs prefer catching
flight to abroad. Thence, the sophisticated lifestyle, comfort, incentives and
privileges bind them there for many years.
US Dollar Up, Indian
Rupee Down
It may be momentary yet the downfall of Indian rupees
against the US dollar is not going to stop. The strolling down rupee is causing
headache to native Indians. As per providers of NRI services in India, for NRIs, it’s a bonanza. For not letting
the opportunity pass by easily, many of them have started hitting Indian banks.
They are in hurry to exchange their thousands or lakhs of dollars in rupees.
This is just for maximizing value of their investment at this nick of time when
1$ costs Rs. 66.19. And, Gujarati NRIs are the forerunner in this.

previous year. They have deposited Rs. 54,574 till 31 March 2015 which is all
in all 11.13%. These figures clearly demonstrate that NRIs are surrendering
their money to Indian banks. Even, jump in NRI
investment in real estates & purchase of cars is making no difference
to their bank deposits.

- Indian banks are offering
attractive rate of Interest, i.e. 8% on NRI investment.
- Promising policies of Indian
government favouring NRIs are tempting.
- NRIs’ sentiments have started
improving for the native land.
- Projections confirm no rise in the
value of Indian rupee against US dollar in near future.
- Liquidity crisis in some of the
foreign countries have scared NRIs to invest there.
Garment Importers
unhappy with rolling down rupees
Garment exporters (online) are singing songs of happiness as
they are maximizing profit on very low investment. And those, who have not
started reaping benefits, they are in hurry to catch this golden chance. On the
contrary, garment importers are wailing since their loss of revenue is going
gigantic. Some of these poor importers had priced product when the value of
dollar was Rs. 62. But gaining Rs. 4 lead, it’s causing hefty loss to them.
