- Residential Status: Fixed deposits are available to both Indian citizens and Non-Resident Indians (NRIs). Some institutions may offer specialized FD programs for NRIs.
- Documentation: Required documents usually include identification proof (such as a passport, driver’s license, or Aadhaar) and address proof (like utility bills or rental agreements).
