NRI Deposits Mein Badi Giraawat
India mein NRIs se jo foreign currency deposits aate hain, woh kaafi kam ho gaye hain. RBI data bata raha hai ki FY26 ke pehle 11 mahine (April-February) mein yeh inflows 24.17% ghatkar $11.04 billion reh gaye. Ismein Foreign Currency Non-Resident (FCNR-B) accounts ka haal sabse bura hai, jo 86% se zyada gir gaye aur sirf $0.91 billion reh gaye. Yeh accounts NRIs ko currency fluctuation se bachane ke liye hote hain, par lagta hai ab yeh zyada attractive nahi lag rahe.
Naya Paisa Kam, Purana Wahi Jama
Naye deposits kam hone ke bawajood, February 2026 ke end tak total outstanding NRI deposits $167.58 billion ho gaye, jo pichhle saal $160.34 billion the. FCNR-B accounts mein bhi thoda izafa hua hai, $33.72 billion tak. Iska matlab hai ki jo paisa pehle se jama hai woh toh wahi hai, par naya paisa lagane mein NRIs ki dilchaspi kam ho gayi hai. Aur upar se Indian Rupee bhi FY26 mein 10% kamzor ho gaya hai, jo India ki forex reserves aur liquidity management ke liye tension wali baat hai.
Global Rates Aur Rupee Ki Kahani
NRI investors ab apni strategies badal rahe hain kyunki global economic scenario change ho raha hai. America jaise countries mein interest rates badh gaye hain, jisse wahan ke fixed-income products aur bhi mazedaar ho gaye hain aur unmein currency risk bhi nahi hai. Indian banks bhi achhe rates de rahe hain, par bahar ke options ab zyada attract kar rahe hain. Rupee ka kamzor hona, jo oil prices aur geopolitical tensions se bhi affect ho raha hai, NRIs ke liye decision lena mushkil bana raha hai.
Liquidity Aur Forex Reserves Par Asar
NRI deposits ka kam hona, khaaskar FCNR-B accounts ka girna, India ki banking liquidity aur forex reserves ke liye risk hai. Experts keh rahe hain ki FCNR-B accounts crisis management ke liye hote hain, aur ab inka kam hona investors ka caution dikhata hai. India ke paas forex reserves toh kaafi hain, par usable reserves kam ho sakte hain. Banking sector ki liquidity already pressure mein hai kyunki loan growth deposit growth se zyada hai. Iske alawa, Indian corporate bonds 8-14% tak returns de rahe hain ya equity market mein gains ka chance hai, uske comparison mein Indian fixed deposits currency risk ke saath kum attractive lag sakte hain.
Aage Kya Ho Sakta Hai?
Kuch logon ka kehna hai ki government ko special NRI deposit schemes phir se launch karni chahiye aur tax benefits dene chahiye taaki foreign currency inflows badhe aur liquidity ka issue solve ho. RBI chahti hai ki long-term reforms hon, par agar NRI deposits aise hi girte rahe, toh policy mein change ho sakta hai. Aage NRI deposits ka future global interest rates, Rupee ki stability aur India ki economic policies par depend karega. Analysts warn kar rahe hain ki geopolitical risks Rupee ko aur kamzor kar sakte hain, jisse RBI ko foreign currency attract karne ke liye aur kadam uthane pad sakte hain.
