MUMBAI (Reuters) - The Reserve Bank of India said it raised interest rates on Wednesday on longer-term deposits accounts held by non-residents.
On foreign currency non-resident bank (FCNRB) accounts with maturities of 3-5 years, the central bank said it raised the interest rate ceiling to LIBOR plus 400 basis points from LIBOR plus 300.
The RBI removed the ceiling on interest rates on non-resident external rupee deposits with maturities of three years and above.
Earlier in the day, the RBI exempted those deposits from cash reserve ratio and statutory liquidity ratio requirements.
