Interest exemption on NRE/FCNR accounts allowed for temporarily repatriated non-resident Indians maintaining accounts abroad; continuity permitted. Interest on amounts deposited in NRE and FCNR accounts is exempt for persons retaining non-resident status; individuals normally resident in Kuwait who returned as a direct consequence of the invasion and who continue to maintain NRE/FCNR and foreign currency accounts under the Reserve Bank's temporary permission are eligible for the interest exemption in respect of such accounts maintained during the permitted period.
