For Santosh Kuruvilla & other NRIs

I beg to differ from Ms. Uma Shashikant on placing some part of your money into NRI Deposits.

Infact placing your money in NRI Deposits is a almost like a crime...it hardly earns anything..the NRE Term Deposit rate would be something arnd 3.5% per annum. What you can do is place your money in Debt Based Mutual FUnds like a Floating Rate Fund which gives you a return of 5-5.25%. The otehr option is the recently launched JM Equity & Derivative Fund which offers anywhere between 8-9% (with capital protection and a minimum growth of 4-4.5%)

What you can also do is in case you do not want to take a CUrrency Risk, Place your money in FCNR Deposits in USD...take a Rupee Loan against that deposit. if the USD 1 yr FCNR rate is 3.00%, the Rupee Loan rate will be typically arnd 4%. Invest this Rupee Loan amount into JM Euity & Derivative Fund & earn easily upto 8%, pay off the loan @ 4%..and you end up making another 4% straight away, plus your deposit is not touched! Hows that for a structure!
