Overseas Indians withdrew nearly $2 billion more than they deposited in Indian bank accounts in March, driven by a fall in Non-Resident External Rupee Accounts and Non-Resident Ordinary accounts. This trend, linked to geopolitical uncertainty from the Iran war, saw total NRI deposits decline to $165.65 billion.
