📍 Anjali: Hey Grace — I’m thinking of moving some USD back to India and investing it myself. Heard of FCNR(B) deposits? Is FX risk still a worry?

📌 Grace: FCNR(B) is ideal for self-directed investors — you deposit in USD/GBP/EUR with an Indian bank and earn interest in that currency. No exchange-rate risk on your principal or interest.

📍Anjali: Nice. But why are Indian banks advertising higher rates lately?

📌 Grace: Three simple reasons.

- Overseas yields are attractive, so Indian banks must offer a premium to win your funds.

- Hedging and funding costs raise banks’ landed cost; the RBI’s June 2026 facility helps cover hedging costs so banks can offer better gross rates.

- Competition — smaller or newer banks pay higher rates to attract customers who aren’t already with them.

📍Anjali: What did the RBI change specifically?

📌 Grace: Dec 2024: raised ceilings to ARR +400 bps (1–3 yrs) and ARR +500 bps (3–5 yrs). June 2026: introduced a special facility to reduce banks’ costs — that makes (B) more competitive versus safe foreign assets.

📍Anjali: Sounds promising. Any downsides for DIY investors like us?

📌 Grace: Benefits include improved FX liquidity, rupee stability, and reserve build-up. Risks: added exposure on the RBI’s balance sheet and potential moral hazard if support isn’t time-bound. For you and me, also consider bank credit risk, tenure matching, and documentation under FEMA.

📍Anjali: I’m not confident about FEMA compliance, documentation, or which bank/product suits a self-directed plan. Who can I ask?

📌 Grace: Contact the ODFC FEMA Helpdesk — they provide practical FEMA guidance for individual investors, bankers, and legal advisers on FCNR rules, compliance, documentation, and RBI policy interpretation.

📍Anjali: How do we reach them?

📌 Grace: Email [email protected] or WhatsApp. For the courses and training from ODFC Academy ⭕ visit academy.odfc.app.

📍Anjali: Great — I’ll review the courses and speak to the ODFC helpdesk before moving funds. Thank you!

*साइबर क्राइम: दिल्ली जल बोर्ड (DJB) Fake App*

यह #ओडीएफसी साइबर हेल्पडेस्क द्वारा दी गई एक सच्ची कहानी है।

एक मध्यम आयु वर्ग की महिला को एक अज्ञात फ़ोन नंबर से एक मेसेज मिला जिसमें कहा गया था कि आपका दिल्ली जल बोर्ड कनेक्शन काट दिया जाएगा क्योंकि आपका KNO डिटेल्स अपडेट नहीं है, तुरंत इस नंबर पर कॉल करें। क्योंकि हाल ही में उसने दिल्ली जल बोर्ड में एक अप्लिकेशन डाला था, इसलिए उसने इस संदेश पर आँख मूंदकर भरोसा कर लिया, उसने उस नंबर पर कॉल किया, कॉल करने के बाद उन्होंने उसे कनेक्शन के डिटेल्स जैसे KNO नंबर, आवेदक का नाम, जिस पर कनेक्शन registered है और दोनों फ्लैटस का पूरा पता बताया, जिससे उसे विश्वास हो गया कि वे दिल्ली जल बोर्ड से ही बात कर रहे हैं।

उसके बाद स्कैमर ने #व्हाट्सएप के माध्यम से दो .apk फ़ाइलें भेजी, और झांसा देकर पीड़िता से उसे डाउनलोड भी करवा लिया। फिर स्कैमर ने उसे फ़ोन न छूने के लिए कहा और फिर फ़ोन की स्क्रीन ब्लैक हो गई और उस पर दिल्ली जल बोर्ड का इंग्लिश में एक मैसेज दिखाई देने लगा "कृपया प्रतीक्षा करें - दिल्ली जल बोर्ड"। इस बीच न तो स्क्रीन कैंसिल हो रही थी और न ही आगे बढ़ रही थी, वह हैकर के चंगुल में फंस चुकी थी और उन्होंने उसके UPI के माध्यम से 95000/- रुपये का unauthorised ट्रांज़ैक्शन किया।

जब पीड़िता ने अपना SMS देखा, तो उसमें 95,000/- रुपये का ट्रांज़ैक्शन किया गया था, झुंझलाहट में उसने इस बारे में स्कैमर से पूछा जो 30 मिनट से अधिक समय से कॉल पर था। "तब स्कैमर ने जवाब दिया - मैडम, कृपया कॉल डिस्कनेक्ट न करें, यह कॉल रिकॉर्डिंग पर है। आपका पैसा जल्द ही आपको वापस कर दिया जाएगा नहीं तो मेरी नौकरी चली जायेगी।" लेकिन पीड़िता ने अपना फोन बिना डिस्कनेक्ट किए, तुरंत दूसरे फोन के माध्यम से ओडीएफसी साइबर हेल्पडेस्क से संपर्क किया, और उसे पता चला कि अब वह साइबर क्राइम का शिकार हो गई है, उसे 1930 (साइबर क्राइम पुलिस) और बैंक को रिपोर्ट करने का निर्देश मिला।

🎯 इसके लिए #दिल्ली जल बोर्ड भी कैसे दोषी है?

1. इस स्कैमर् गैंग के पास दिल्ली जल बोर्ड की पूरी जानकारी है, ऐसा लगता है कि कोई DJB ऑफिसर है जिसने पूरा डेटा बेच दिया है, इसलिए स्कैमर् गैंग के पास सभी अप्लिकेशन का पूरा डिटेल्स है।

2. डेटा के साथ-साथ, इन स्कैमर् को इस बात की पूरी ट्रेनिंग भी है कि अप्लिकेशन के प्रोसेस के दौरान दिल्ली जल बोर्ड के स्टाफ कैसे बात करते हैं, जब वे अप्लिकेशन प्रोसेस करते हैं।
