FCNR stands for Foreign Currency Non-Resident Account. NRIs who want to maintain a Fixed Deposit Account in India can choose an FCNR Account. This account enables you to save money in foreign currencies such as US dollars, Sterling pounds, Euros, Australian dollars, and Canadian dollars.

The Indian government provides tax relief to individuals who reinvest their capital gains within a specific time frame. The Capital Gains Account Scheme allows taxpayers to temporarily hold their capital gains until reinvestment. You can choose from two capital gain account options.

· Capital Gain Saving Account

· Capital Gain Term Deposit Account
